These Regulations further amend paragraph (2) of regulation 10 of the Public Service Vehicles (Drivers' Licences) Regulations 1985 by increasing the fee, for the provision by a traffic commissioner of facilities for an applicant for a licence to drive a public service vehicle to undergo a test, from £40 to £42.

Paragraph 3 of that regulation (which specifies the circumstances in which a test fee will be repaid) is amended so that on and after 27th June 1988 notice of the withdrawal of an application must be received at least ten clear days (rather than three as previously) before the day on which it has been arranged to provide facilities for the test, if the fee is to be repaid. The three day notice period will remain in respect of appointments made before that date.
