The District Court may revoke the certificate of an operator, in accordance with Title 4, chapter 5, when it is found that the operator has practiced fraud or deception; that reasonable care, judgment or the application of the operator's knowledge or ability was not used in the performance of the operator's duties; or that the operator is incompetent or unable properly to perform the operator's duties.   [PL 1999, c. 547, Pt. B, §69 (AMD); PL 1999, c. 547, Pt. B, §80 (AFF).]
