Where a permit is lost, destroyed or rendered illegible, the owner of the special purpose vehicle shall, upon payment of the prescribed fee, apply for a duplicate permit.
Where, upon application, the Director is satisfied that a permit is lost, destroyed or rendered illegible, that Director may, upon the applicant paying the prescribed fee, issue a duplicate permit marked in accordance with the reason for its replacement.
A special purpose vehicle permit —
shall be carried in the vehicle when the vehicle is operating;
shall, unless previously revoked or suspended, remain in force for one year from the date of issue; and
shall, upon a subsequent application for renewal of the permit, be renewed by the Director if that Director is satisfied that it meets the requirements under section 55, for consecutive periods of one month, three months, six months or one year at a time.
The Director may revoke or suspend a permit issued under this section if that Director is satisfied that a special purpose vehicle to which the permit relates —
is no longer equipped as required by or under section 55; or
is otherwise being used contrary to the conditions under which the permit was issued.
