Given accepted facts that appellant was ill and the passenger both suggested and took over driving, the passenger's words and actions gave the appellant reasonable grounds to believe she held a licence; such a reasonable honest belief constitutes a 'special reason' under s.4(2)(a) permitting reduction of the statutory minimum disqualification, and the disqualification was reduced from 12 months to 6 months.
