EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2005 (“the Principal Regulations”).

Regulation 2(2) amends the Principal Regulations so as to require a candidate for a written examination to pay a fee of £75. This fee increase represents a percentage increase of 50%. The fees have not been increased since the Principal Regulations came into force on 10 August 2005.

Regulation 2(3) and (4) amend the Principal Regulations so as to require a candidate for a driving ability and fitness test or the instructional ability and fitness test to pay a fee of £85. This fee increase represents a percentage increase of 3.7%. The fees were last increased on 1 April 2006.

The fees in these Regulations have been set further to the Department of Transport (Fees) Order 1988 (S.I. 1988/643), relevant amending instruments are S.I. 1995/1684 and S.I. 2003/1094), which established a common pool for costs incurred in respect of the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to the register of approved driving instructors. In accordance with the terms of that Order, in setting the levels of fees further to this Order, the Secretary of State has taken into account the costs within that common pool.

These Regulations are made in conjunction with the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) Regulations 2007. A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Driving Standards Agency, Stanley House, Talbot Street, Nottingham NG1 5GU. The regulatory impact assessment may also be accessed on the Office of Public Information website www.opsi.gov.uk and on the Driver Standards Agency’s website at www.dsa.gov.uk.
