Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1987.

Regulation 19(3)(b) is amended so as to increase the fee payable in respect of Part II of the test for motor bicyles and the test for motor vehicles of category P (mopeds) from £24 to £26.

Regulation 19(3)(c) is amended so as to increase the fee payable in respect of any other test (other than Part I of the test for motor bicycles which is not affected by these Regulations and remains at £15.60) from £18 to £19.50. There continues to be no fee payable in respect of a test to be taken in an invalid carriage.

Regulation 19 (5) is amended so as to increase the fee payable to the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, in respect of a test of a person who is the holder of or is an applicant for a licence to drive a motor cab by virtue of the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869 (c. 115), from £18 to £19.50.

Regulations 3, 18 and 22 have been amended so as to reflect the fact that the clerk to the traffic commissioner for any traffic area constituted for the purposes of the Transport Act 1985 (c. 67) is no longer responsible for dealing with applications for driving tests to be conducted by an examiner appointed under paragraph (1)(a) of regulation 14.
