66	Effect of disqualification
	(1)	If a person is disqualified (whether or not by court order) from holding or obtaining a driver licence because of being convicted, or found guilty, by a court of an offence against a territory law, the disqualification operates to cancel any driver licence held by the person at the time of his or her disqualification.
	(2)	The cancellation takes effect at the same time as the disqualification.
	(3)	If a person is disqualified from holding or obtaining an Australian driver licence in another jurisdiction because of being convicted, or found guilty, by a court of that jurisdiction for an offence against the law of that jurisdiction, the disqualification has effect in the ACT as if it were a disqualification from holding or obtaining a driver licence made under a territory law because the person had been convicted by an ACT court of an offence against a territory law.
	(4)	If the holder of a driver licence is disqualified as mentioned in subsection (1) or (3), the person must surrender the licence—
	(a)	if the person is present at the court, the court is an ACT court and the person is in possession of his or her driver licence—to the registrar immediately after being disqualified; or
	(b)	in any other case—to the road transport authority as soon as practicable (but within 14 days) after being disqualified.
