These Regulations amend the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 1989 ("the principal Regulations") as follows.
The principal Regulations were amended by the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/2640) on 14 November 2002 to incorporate a hazard perception testing element ("hazard perception test") into the driving ability and fitness test. These Regulations amend regulations 3 and 4 of the principal Regulations so that a person who passed the written examination before 14 November 2002 is not required to undertake the hazard perception test as part of the driving ability and fitness test.
