(b)make a driving disqualification order but suspend its operation until such time and on such conditions (if any) as it thinks just.

(b)whether the debtor needs a driving licence to earn his or her living;

(c)whether the failure to pay the arrears is due to wilful refusal or culpable neglect on the part of the debtor.
