Explanatory note

Sections 34A and 34B of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53), which were inserted by section 30 of the Road Traffic Act 1991, give courts power to order that the period of disqualification imposed on a person convicted of a drink-drive offence is to be reduced if he completes a course approved by the Secretary of State. Section 31 of the 1991 Act applies those provisions with modification during an experimental period. In particular, during the experimental period, orders can be made only by courts acting for designated areas.

This Order designates areas for the purposes of section 31 of the 1991 Act.
