Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order.)
This Order further amends the Motor Vehicles (International Circulation) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990 as follows—
(1) Visitors to Northern Ireland resident in the Isle of Man or Jersey who hold appropriate visitors' driving permits may drive in Northern Ireland large goods and passenger-carrying vehicles, whether or not those vehicles have been brought temporarily into Northern Ireland (Article 3(2)(a)).
(2) The definitions of Convention driving permit and domestic driving permit are amended so that foreign provisional licences do not have the same validity as full driving licences (Article 3(2)(b) and (4)).
(3) The provision allowing foreign military personnel to drive large buses and lorries is restored, having been removed by the Motor Vehicles (International Circulation) (Amendment) Order (Northern Ireland) 1991 (S.R. 1991 No. 477) (Article 3(3)).
