Accused was apprehended driving a motor vehicle without a licence, and while intoxicated. Sentence consisted, inter alia, of disqualification from holding or obtaining a licence to drive for two years.

            Held: While the Traffic Ordinance, s. 49 (2), permits periods of disqualification of more than one year, such a sentence is not justified here. The period of disqualification was reduced to 12 months.
