ROAD SAFETY ACT 1986 - SECT 85ZC

Effect of issue of traffic infringement notice

    (1)     If—

        (a)     a non-Victorian licence or permit holder or unlicensed driver is, under section 85ZA, disqualified from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit; and

        (b)     less than 28 days before the end of the period of disqualification, a traffic infringement notice is issued against the person in respect of the alleged offence—

the period of disqualification under section 85ZB(2)(b) is not affected by the person giving a notice of objection to the traffic infringement notice before the end of the period of disqualification but, if the person does not give a notice of objection before the end of the period of disqualification, the period of disqualification is extended until the end of the 28 day period for giving the notice of objection.

    (2)     If—

        (a)     a non-Victorian licence or permit holder or unlicensed driver is, under section 85ZA, disqualified from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit; and

        (b)     28 days or more before the end of the period of disqualification, a traffic infringement notice is issued against the person in respect of the alleged offence—

the period of disqualification under section 85ZB(2)(b) is not affected by the person giving a notice of objection to the traffic infringement notice within the 28 day period for doing so.

    (3)     If—

        (a)     subsection (1) or (2) applies to a non‑Victorian licence or permit holder; and

        (b)     the non-Victorian licence or permit holder does not give a notice of objection to the traffic infringement notice within the 28 day period for doing so—

any period of disqualification under this section ends when the non-Victorian licence or permit holder is disqualified from driving a motor vehicle on a road in Victoria under section 89C and the period for which the person is disqualified under that section is reduced by the period of the disqualification under section 85ZA (as extended, if applicable, by subsection (1)).

    (4)     If—

        (a)     a non-Victorian licence or permit holder is disqualified, under section 85ZA, from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit; and

        (b)     after the period of disqualification under section 85ZA a traffic infringement notice is issued against the non-Victorian licence or permit holder in respect of the alleged offence; and

        (c)     the non-Victorian licence or permit holder does not give a notice of objection to the traffic infringement notice within the 28 day period for doing so; and

        (d)     the non-Victorian licence or permit holder is disqualified from driving a motor vehicle under section 89C

the period for which the person is disqualified from driving a motor vehicle under section 89C is reduced by the period of disqualification under section 85ZA.
