of any offense defined in this section shall forthwith forfeit his right to operate

a motor vehicle over the highways of this State for a period to be fixed by the court

at not less than six months or more than two years which shall commence on the day

the sentence is imposed. In the case of any person who at the time of the imposition of the sentence is less

than 17 years of age, the period of the suspension of driving privileges authorized

herein, including a suspension of the privilege of operating a motorized bicycle,

shall commence on the day the sentence is imposed and shall run for a period as fixed

by the court of not less than six months or more than two years after the day the

person reaches the age of 17 years. If the driving privilege of any person is under revocation, suspension, or postponement

for a violation of any provision of this Title or Title 39 of the Revised Statutes

with a report indicating the first and last day of the suspension or postponement

period imposed by the court pursuant to this section. If the court is for any reason unable to collect the license or licenses of the

person, the court shall cause a report of the conviction or adjudication of delinquency

sex of the person and shall indicate the first and last day of the suspension or postponement

period imposed by the court pursuant to this section. The court shall inform the person orally and in writing that if the person is convicted

of personally operating a motor vehicle during the period of license suspension or

postponement imposed pursuant to this section, the person shall, upon conviction,

be subject to the penalties set forth in R.S.39:3-40 . A person shall be required to acknowledge receipt of the written notice in writing. Failure to receive a written notice or failure to acknowledge in writing the receipt

of a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent charge of a violation of R.S.39:3-40 . If the person is the holder of a driver's license from another jurisdiction, the

court shall not collect the license, but shall notify forthwith the director who shall

notify the appropriate officials in that licensing jurisdiction. The court shall, however, in accordance with the provisions of this section, revoke

the person's non-resident driving privileges in this State. In addition to any other condition imposed, a court, in its discretion, may suspend,

revoke or postpone the driving privileges of a person admitted to supervisory treatment

under N.J.S.2C:36A-1 or N.J.S.2C:43-12 without a plea of guilty or finding of guilt.
