# The Road Traffic (Courses for Drink-Drive Offenders) Regulations 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Sections 34A and 34B of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, which were inserted by section 30 of the Road Traffic Act 1991, give courts power to order that the period of disqualification imposed on a person convicted of a drink-drive offence is to be reduced if he completes a course approved by the Secretary of State. Section 31 of the 1991 Act applies those provisions with modification during an experimental period. In particular, during the experimental period, orders can be made only by courts acting for designated areas.
These Regulations make provision for–
(a) the form and content of the certificate to be given to an offender when he satisfactorily completes a course;
(b) determining the person responsible for giving such certificates;
(c) the circumstances in which a notice of non-completion of a course is to be treated as given to the offender.
