1. It is unlawful for any person to drive, operate or be in charge of any vehicle governed or affected by this chapter during the time that the driver's permit has been suspended or after the same has been revoked.
(B) Any driver who may be aggrieved by the action of the chief of police in suspending or revoking the driver's permit or temporary driver's permit, or any applicant who may be aggrieved by the permit denial by the chief of police, may within ten (10) days from such denial, suspension or revocation, make written objection to the city manager stating the grounds for grievance, whereupon the city manager shall fix a date for hearing such objections, giving written notice thereof to such applicant, and upon such hearing may sustain, suspend or overrule the decision of the chief of police, which decision of the city manager shall be final and conclusive.
