Subsection (2) confirms that the court can disqualify an offender from driving alongside imposing a driving prohibition requirement as part of a community or suspended sentence order.
	Subsection (3) inserts the driving prohibition requirement into the list of community requirements available as part of a community order.
	Subsection (4) sets out that the requirement is only available for offences committed after section 14(4)(a) of this Act comes into force.
	Subsection (5) achieves the same effect as subsection (3) but for suspended sentences.
	Subsection (6) achieves the same effect as subsection (4) but for suspended sentences.
	Within Subsection (7), new paragraph 8A(4) is intended to make to clear to courts that they may impose a driving prohibition requirement for punitive purposes, irrespective of whether the offence has any connection with driving. It has been included in light of Sentencing Guidelines on Driving disqualification (effective from 1 April 2025) which indicate that the use of the power to disqualify under section 163 of the Sentencing Code "should generally be reserved for cases which have involved the offender driving a vehicle or otherwise using a vehicle to commit the offence for which he or she is being sentenced". It is not intended that similar restrictions should apply here.
	Paragraph 8A(4) is included only in light of particular concerns around the use of driving restrictions and not intended to suggest that, in the absence of such a provision, a requirement is expected to have a connection with the underlying offending. For example, there is no intention that a drinking establishment attendance prohibition requirement should only be imposed where the offending had some connection with a drinking establishment, or alcohol.
	Subsection (8) amends section 177H of the Armed Forces Act 2006 to make it clear that a service court may still impose a driving disqualification order in cases where it has made a driving prohibition requirement as part of a suspended custodial sentence, service community order or overseas community order under sections 200, 178 and 182 of that Act.
