Land Transport Act 1998

Disqualification, demerit points, licence suspension, and vehicle impoundment - Disqualification of transport service driver and other persons

87B: Disqualification of holder of transport service licence from holding transport service licence

You could also call this:

“When you lose your transport service licence, you might not be able to get another one for a long time”

If you have a transport service licence and the Director takes it away, they can also stop you from getting another one for up to 10 years. This can happen to you if you were in charge of the transport service and your actions led to the licence being taken away. During this time, you won’t be allowed to get a new transport service licence or have any control over a transport service. This rule helps make sure that people who run transport services do so safely and properly.
