REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS: You have the right to have the driving prohibition reviewed by the Registrar under section 277.5 of the Highway Traffic Act. You may, within 7 days of being served with this notice of driving prohibition, apply to the Registrar for a review of the driving prohibition by filing an application for review with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles at the Highway Safety Division, 33 Riverside Drive, Charlottetown, or Access PEI, 120 Heather Moyse Drive, Summerside, and paying to the Registrar the prescribed fee(s). If your license or permit to operate a motor vehicle issued under the Highway Traffic Act was not taken by the peace officer or sent to the Registrar under section 277.2 of the Highway Traffic Act, you must surrender it to the Registrar, unless you complete and file with the Registrar a statutory declaration in the prescribed form stating that the license or permit has been lost, stolen or destroyed. An application for review must be in the form, contain the information and be completed in the manner required by the Registrar. You may attach to the application for review any sworn statements or other evidence that you wish the Registrar to consider. To ensure all written evidence will be considered by the Registrar, it must be attached at the time of filing the application for review. The Registrar is not required to hold an oral hearing unless you request an oral hearing at the time of filing the application for review and pay the prescribed oral hearing fee. If you request an oral hearing and fail to appear on the date and at the time and place arranged for the hearing, without prior notice to the Registrar, your right to an oral hearing is deemed to have been waived. The filing of an application for a review under section 277.5 of the Highway Traffic Act does not stay the driving prohibition. If you do not apply for a review of the driving prohibition within 7 days, or if the review is unsuccessful, you will be prohibited from operating a motor vehicle for a period of 90 days.
