Driving while your driver’s licence privileges are suspended or disqualified If you operate a motor vehicle while your driver’s licence privileges are suspended or disqualified you can face time in jail, fines, or both. In addition, if you are currently serving a suspension, you will face another suspension. The vehicle you are driving will be seized and impounded for 30 days regardless of who is the registered owner. All towing charges and impound fees will be charged to the registered owner of the vehicle. Your driver’s licence driving privileges can be suspended or disqualified. If you receive a driver’s licence suspension or disqualification you will receive notification via registered letter to the last recorded address on your driver’s licence record, from Driver Fitness and Monitoring, indicating the reasons for your suspension or disqualification. If your driver’s licence driving privileges are suspended or disqualified, your Notice of Suspension letter will identify the length of your suspension or disqualification and the conditions that you must meet to have your driving privileges reinstated. When you have met the conditions of your suspension or disqualification you will receive another letter from Driver Fitness and Monitoring, indicating that your suspension or disqualification has been removed and the date you are eligible to operate a motor vehicle.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts.
