Mitigation of penalties and rights of appeal - Removal of disqualifications

100A: Director may authorise removal of alcohol interlock device and certify that requirements of alcohol interlock sentence have been fulfilled

You could also call this:

“Director can decide if you can remove the alcohol interlock and finish your sentence”

The Director can allow you to remove the alcohol interlock device from your vehicles and say that you have completed your alcohol interlock sentence. This can happen if the Director thinks you are suitable to have a driver licence and have followed the rules in section 65AG. If the Director does this, any orders made about your alcohol interlock licence will no longer apply. If the Director doesn’t do this, they must tell you that you can appeal this decision under section 108(1).
