<Text>This section amends section 36 of the <Abbreviation Expansion="Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 c. 53">RTOA</Abbreviation> (duty of court to order disqualification until test is passed) by substituting a new version of the definition of "appropriate driving test". The new definition will enable the Secretary of State to prescribe by regulations when the appropriate driving test is an extended test. The section also amends section 36 of the RTOA so as to require the Secretary of State to consult with such representative organisations as he thinks fit before making an order under section 36(3). It also amends section 173(2) of the <Abbreviation Expansion="Road Traffic Act 1988 c. 52">RTA</Abbreviation> (forgery of documents <Abbreviation Expansion="et cetera" xml:lang="la">etc.</Abbreviation>) to include reference to documents produced as evidence of the passing of an appropriate driving test for the purposes of section 36 of the RTOA.</Text>
