Provided that where in the opinion of such road transport officer the defects are such as can be remedied within any period not exceeding ten days and are not defects which involve immediate risk to persons using the motor vehicle or to persons using a road, the prohibition shall not operate before the expiration of that period.

Subsections 59(3) to (9) shall apply to this section in the case where a prohibition order has been issued under subsection (2).
