Disqualification is typically enforced concerning licensed activity, particularly for traffic violations. In several traffic violations, the court have the authority to suspend drivers for a specified duration.

Dangerous driving; 5. Driving or attempting to drive while unfit; 6. Driving or attempting to drive with excess alcohol in breath, blood, or urine; 7. Failure (in certain cases) to provide a specimen of breath, blood, or urine; 8. Racing or speed trials on the highway.
A person convicted for a second time within ten years for a driving violation involving alcohol or drugs shall be disqualified for a minimum of three years. The courts may disqualify those who commit any indictable offense involving the use of a vehicle. A *totting-up system of endorsements exists, which may lead to disqualification. When an individual is disqualified from driving, their license is typically endorsed with information regarding the offense, however it does not include penalty points for accumulation purposes. The court may issue a driving-test order. Aperson disqualified from driving may petition for the removal of the disqualification after two years or half the duration of the ban, whichever is greater, or, if disqualified for ten years or more, after five years.
