These Regulations amend the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2005 ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 3 amends the principal Regulations so that a candidate for a written examination, driving ability and fitness test, or instructional ability and fitness test is no longer permitted to give evidence of proof of his or her identity by producing a cheque guarantee or credit card bearing his or her photograph and signature. The only permitted forms of identification in all cases are (a) a photocard licence and its counterpart or (b) a licence in a form other than a photocard and a current passport. For the instructional ability and fitness test a candidate may alternatively provide a licence in a form other than a photocard and a licence issued under section 129(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Regulations 4 and 5 amend the principal Regulations so as to require a candidate for a driving ability and fitness test, the instructional ability and fitness test or the practical part of the continued ability and fitness test to allow a person authorised by the Secretary of State to travel in the motor car provided for the test for the purpose of supervising the test or otherwise.
These Regulations are made in conjunction with the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) (Amendment) Regulations 2006.
