  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations revoke the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) (No.2) Regulations 2015. The substantive provisions of these Regulations are identical to S.I. 2015/412 other than the revocation and the number of the regulation being inserted into the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) 1999 Regulations.\nThese Regulations make further provision to implement Article 7(5)(a) of Directive 2006/126/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 20 December 2006 on driving licences (“the Directive”).\nRegulation 4 prohibits a person from holding more than one Great Britain, Northern Ireland or Community driving licence. Any breach of this regulation is an offence under section 91 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53). There is an exception made in the case of those who hold a document authorising them to drive a motor vehicle which was issued by a state before the date on which that state became a member State or the date on which that state became a party to the EEA agreement.\nAn Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.\nIt is normal practice to make available to Parliament, alongside primary or secondary legislation giving effect to European Directives, a Transposition Note that sets out how the Government will transpose the main elements of those Directives into UK law. However, in the present case a Transposition Note has not been made available. This is because, in the Government’s view, the resources required to produce a Transposition Note are significantly greater than can be justified by the resulting added benefit to the reader.\nCopies of the Directives referred to above can be found at http://eur-lex.europa.eu.",
