Correct answer
When the reason that caused it has ceased to exist.
When traffic officers immobilise a vehicle because its driver has an alcohol level above the permitted limit, the immobilisation will remain in force until the reason that caused it has ceased to exist. This means that the immobilisation measure will be lifted once the situation that led to the decision has been resolved. For example, if the driver can be replaced by another person who is duly authorised to drive and does not exceed the alcohol limits, the immobilisation may be lifted. Likewise, if the driver’s alcohol level falls to a permitted level after a period of time, the immobilisation may be lifted.
