The mandatory six‑month disqualification under s.46AA(2)(a) Cap.109 must be imposed in the absence of 'special reasons'; ordinary personal or economic hardship does not constitute 'special reasons', and the appellate court found the HK$3,500 fine not excessive given the offence's prevalence and the appellant's prior conviction.
