# Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment No. 2) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996 (“the principal Regulations”) as follows.
Regulations 3 and 5 amend, respectively, regulations 2 and 29 of the principal Regulations by replacing the theory test currently taken by those wishing to obtain a driving licence with a two-part theory test. Part I of the new two-part theory test consists of the old theory test, consisting of a test of driving theory. Part II consists of a test of the candidate’s ability to recognise hazards to driving (a “hazard perception test”).
Regulation 4 increases the fee for a theory test in respect of any category of motor vehicle from £18 to £20·50.
