Explanatory note

This Order designates the Republic of Moldova, under section 108(2)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988, as making satisfactory provision in law for the grant of a specified description of driving licence. This enables a person holding one of these licences to exchange it for a corresponding British licence.

The licences specified are those authorising the driving of cars.

The Order also provides that if a driving test was taken in a vehicle with automatic transmission, the licence will be exchangeable only so far as it authorises the driving of vehicles with automatic transmission.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument because it does not directly impose or amend requirements for business and is, therefore, exempt from the provisions contained in the Better Regulation Framework.
