Paragraph (3) applies mutatis mutandis if a public safety commission seeks to revoke or suspend a license pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
On finding it to be necessary to do so when suspending a license pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) on the grounds that the licensee falls under one of items (i) through (iv) of paragraph (1), a public safety commission may order the licensee to undergo fitness screening on a date and at a place it designates or to submit a medical certificate that meets the requirements that Cabinet Office Order prescribes by the deadline that it specifies.
If a public safety commission revokes a license pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) on the grounds that the licensee falls under one of the items of paragraph (1) (other than item (iv)), it is to designate a period of one to five years, in accordance with the standards that Cabinet Order prescribes, during which the licensee subject to that measure may not obtain a license.

公安委員会は、第一項又は第四項の規定による免許の効力の停止（第一項第一号から第四号までのいずれかに該当することを理由とするものを除く。）を受けた者が第百八条の二第一項第三号に掲げる講習を終了したときは、政令で定める範囲内で、その者の免許の効力の停止の期間を短縮することができる。
Article 103-2Provisional Suspension of Licenses
第百三条の二（免許の効力の仮停止）
If a licensee comes to fall under one of the following items when driving a motor vehicle or motorized bicycle, the competent police station chief for the place where the licensee caused the traffic accident in question may suspend the licensee's license for up to 30 days, starting from the date of the traffic accident (hereinafter referred to in this Article as a "provisional suspension"):

the licensee commits a violation referred to in Article 118, paragraph (1), item (i) or paragraph (2), item (i), or Article 119, paragraph (1), items (i) through (vi), item (xv), or item (xx), or paragraph (2), item (i) or (ii), thereby causing a traffic accident in which a person is killed.
第百十八条第一項第一号若しくは第二項第一号又は第百十九条第一項第一号から第六号まで、第十五号若しくは第二十号若しくは第二項第一号若しくは第二号の違反行為をし、よつて交通事故を起こして人を死亡させたとき。
Having provisionally suspended a person's license, the chief of a police station must provide the person subject to that measure with an opportunity for explanation within five days, counting from the date on which the measure was taken.
警察署長は、仮停止をしたときは、当該処分をした日から起算して五日以内に、当該処分を受けた者に対し弁明の機会を与えなければならない。
When a person who has a license is subject to a provisional suspension, the person must submit the license to the chief of the police station who made that disposition.
When a person who has an Individual Number Card bearing a license information record is subject to a provisional suspension, the person must present the Individual Number Card bearing a license information record to the chief of the police station who made that disposition and undergo the deletion of the license information record.
免許情報記録個人番号カードを有する者が仮停止を受けたときは、免許情報記録個人番号カードを当該処分をした警察署長に提示して免許情報記録の抹消を受けなければならない。
The chief of the police station who has made a provisional suspension must promptly send a provisional suspension notice as Cabinet Office Order prescribes (in the case where a license has been submitted pursuant to paragraph (3), that provisional suspension notice and that license; the same applies in the following paragraph and paragraph (7)) to the public safety commission that had jurisdiction over the domicile of the person subject to that disposition at the time that the person came to fall under any of the items of paragraph (1).
A public safety commission that has been sent a provisional suspension notice as referred to in the preceding paragraph must also send the provisional suspension notice that it has been sent if it sends a transfer of measures notice in connection with the case pursuant to paragraph (3) of the preceding Article (including as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph (5) of that Article).
A provisional suspension ceases to be in effect if the public safety commission that has been sent the provisional suspension notice pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs takes a disposition under paragraph (1), (2), or (4) of the preceding Article in connection with the case within the period of that provisional suspension.
If the license of a person under a provisional suspension is suspended pursuant to paragraph (1) or (4) of the preceding Article in connection with the matter at issue, the period during which the license was provisionally suspended is counted as part of the total period during which the license is suspended.
Article 104Hearings of Opinions
第百四条（意見の聴取）
A public safety commission must hold an opinions hearing of opinions before revoking a license or suspending it for 90 days or more (or for a period of up to 90 days that the public safety commission fixes, if any; the same applies in paragraph (1) of the following Article) pursuant to Article 103, paragraph (1), item (v); before revoking a license pursuant to Article 103, paragraph (2), items (i) through (iv); or if it has been sent a transfer of measures notice (but only in connection with what is provided in paragraph (1), item (v) or paragraph (2), item (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of that Article) as referred to in paragraph (3) of that Article (including as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph (5) of that Article).

In a hearing of opinions, the person who would be subject to the measures in question or that person's agent may state an opinion on the matter at issue and submit evidence in the person's favor.
意見の聴取に際しては、当該処分に係る者又はその代理人は、当該事案について意見を述べ、かつ、有利な証拠を提出することができる。

Notwithstanding paragraph (1), if the person who would be subject to the measures in question or that person's agent fails to appear at a hearing of opinions without a legitimate reason, or if the person who would be subject to those measures cannot be notified as referred to in that paragraph because the person's whereabouts are unknown and remain unknown even after 30 days have passed following the date on which the public notice under the second sentence of that paragraph is issued, the public safety commission may revoke or suspend the person's license (but only in connection with what is provided in Article 103, paragraph (1), item (v)) as under paragraph (1) or (4) of that Article or revoke the person's license (but only in connection with what is provided in paragraph (2), item (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of that Article) as under paragraph (2) or (4) of that Article, without holding a hearing of opinions.
