Unless otherwise provided by law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall not suspend a license for a longer period than five years; and when a court has revoked a license, the person whose license was revoked may not apply for, and the examiner of drivers may not grant, a new driver’s license until the expiration of the period of revocation determined by the court.
