EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order designates the Faroe Islands under section 108(2)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 as making satisfactory provisions for the issue of certain classes of driving licence. This enables a person holding one of these licences to exchange it for a corresponding British licence.
The licences affected are those authorising the driving of mopeds, motor cars and small goods vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass (with or without a trailer), tractors, pedestrian controlled vehicles and mowing machines.
The Order also provides that a licence may not be exchanged for a British licence authorising the driving of vehicles with manual transmission unless the holder took a driving test on a vehicle with manual transmission. If the test was taken in a vehicle with automatic transmission, it will be exchangeable only so far as the licence authorises the driving of vehicles with automatic transmission.
A regulatory impact assessment of the effect of this instrument will have on costs of business is available from the DVLA, Drivers Policy Group, Unit 3, Sandringham Park, Llansamlet, Swansea SA7 0EP.
