Section 32
SEC. 32. Suspension, and revocation of chauffeur's license.—(a) The Director of Public Works may suspend, for a period not exceeding three months, or, after hearing, revoke any chauffeur's license or permit issued under the provision of this Act, and may order any such license or permit to be delivered to him whenever he has reason to believe that the holder thereof is an improper person to operate motor vehicles, or is operating or using a motor vehicle, in or as an accessory to, the practice or commission of any unlawful act, or so as to endanger the public. Any deputy of the Director of Public Works may also, under the circumstances stated herein, suspend, for a period not exceeding three months, any chauffeur's license or permit issued under the provisions of this Act provided that such suspension shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works who may, after reviewing the papers of the case, confirm, reverse or modify the action taken by such deputy. (b) Whenever any licensed operator or chauffeur has been three times in twelve months convicted of the violation of any one or more provisions of this Act and of the Public Service Acts or of any regulation lawfully issued or prescribed by the Director of Public Works, or any municipal or city ordinance relating to motor vehicle traffic not in conflict with any of the provisions of this Act, the Director of Public Works may, in his discretion, suspend or revoke the license of the person convicted for a period not to exceed two years. (c) The license or permit suspended or revoked under the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall not be reissued unless the operator or chauffeur owning the license has furnished a bond in accordance with section thirty-three of this Act and only after the Director of Public Works has satisfied himself that such operator or chauffeur may again safely be permitted to operate. (d) Appeals from the decision of the Director of Public Works on the revocation of or his refusal to renew, licenses under the provisions of this section may be taken to the Secretary of Commerce and Communications.
