ROAD TRANSPORT ACT 2013 - SECT 215A

215A Effect of completion of interlock period

(1) At the end of the day on which the holder of an interlock driver licence completes the interlock period applicable to the holder--

(a) the disqualification period referred to in section 211(1)(a) in respect of which a mandatory interlock order or interlock exemption order was originally made or the incomplete disqualification period referred to in section 213 is taken to have expired, and

(b) the holder is entitled to apply (if otherwise eligible) for a licence without an interlock condition.

(2) Nothing in this section confers a right on the holder of an interlock driver licence who has completed an interlock period applicable to the holder to be issued with a licence without an interlock condition.

(2A) Transport for NSW may, on the grounds prescribed by the statutory rules, refuse an application to vary an interlock driver licence so as to remove an interlock condition to which it is subject.

(3) Any period during which an interlock driver licence held by a person is suspended is not to be taken into account in determining whether the person has completed the interlock period applicable to the person for the purposes of this section.

(4) For the purposes of this Division, any period during which a person holds an external interlock driver licence while a mandatory interlock order is in force in respect of the person is taken to be a period during which the person holds an interlock driver licence. Accordingly, that period is to be taken into account in determining whether the person has completed the interlock period applicable to the person (in respect of that mandatory interlock order) for the purposes of this section.

(5) In this section--

"external interlock driver licence" means an Australian driver licence of another jurisdiction that is subject to a requirement under a law of that jurisdiction allowing the holder to drive only a motor vehicle fitted with an interlock device (however described).
