These Regulations amend regulation 7(1)(a) of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Heavy Goods and Public Service Vehicles) Regulations 1990. An epileptic attack since attaining the age of 5 is no longer a physical disability which is prescribed for the purposes of paragraph 5(1)(a)(i) of Part I of Schedule 1 to the Road Traffic (Driver Licensing and Information Systems) Act 1989. It is replaced by a liability to epileptic seizures.
