NEW laws give Victorian courts the power to cancel licences even if the offence has nothing to do with driving.

Changes introduced on September 30 allow courts to suspend or cancel the licence of any person convicted or found guilty of any offence.

Sergeant Sherril Handley said about 50,000 offenders could potentially be penalised.

"A court or a magistrate can suspend or disqualify a person's driver's licence for any offence under any act," she said on Tuesday.

Sgt Handley said drivers who returned to court to be relicensed could be forced to use a vehicle interlock device if drugs or alcohol were found to be a factor.

"This is just another option provided to magistrates for those occasions that don't fall under those current road safety offences," she said.
