I'm not aware of any conditions set by the court. If it were up to me, I'd make reinstating his license conditional on:
- Anger management
- Passing a fresh driving test
- Successfully completing an on-road bike-safety training course

These days, I'd imagine that any potential employer runs at least a basic google-search before hiring anyone. This guy seems to have screwed himself by demonstrating that he's too much of a liability to hire, especially in any position that has contact with the public. But before his application even gets that far, a potential employer will review his application and notice that yes, he has been convicted of a crime. I'm told that "dangerous driving" in NZ crosses the line from "just" a traffic infringement to being a criminal conviction. Under statute, he could've spent three months in jail.
