Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 by—

(a)permitting the grant of a large goods vehicle driver’s licence to a person under the age of 21 who has accumulated not more than 3 penalty points but imposing on an applicant for such a licence a requirement to produce evidence of satisfactory completion of the off-road element of the young LGV driver training course (regulation 3);

(b)modifying the conditions subject to which large goods vehicle drivers' licences are granted to persons under the age of 21, to correspond with the terms of the new Young LGV Drivers Training Scheme approved by the Secretary of State on 27th February 2003 (regulation 4);

(c)substituting (with effect from 1st April or 1st July 2003 as the case may be) new syllabuses for the theory tests to be taken by applicants for licences to drive vehicles in categories A, B, C, D and P (regulation 5 and Schedules). This implements in part Article 1(2) and Annex II of Commission Directive 2000/56/EC of 14th September 2000 amending Council Directive 91/439/EEC on driving licences.

They contain transitional provisions preserving the validity of theory test passes gained before the Regulations come into force (regulation 6).

A regulatory impact assessment has been prepared and copies may be obtained from the Driving Standards Agency, Stanley House, 56 Talbot Street, Nottingham NG1 5GU, or viewed on the Driving Standards Agency website www.dsa.gov.uk. A copy has been placed in the library of both of Houses of Parliament.
