In this Schedule —
(1) A continuing driver’s licence that, immediately before the commencement day, was appropriate to a motor vehicle of a class specified in Schedule 2 column 1 continues as if these regulations had not come into operation, but as a driver’s licence —
(a) for a motor vehicle of a class specified in column 2 opposite the class specified in column 1;
(b) subject to any condition or limitation specified in column 3 opposite the class specified in column 2 (in addition to any condition or limitation to which the licence may have been subject before the commencement day); and
(c) endorsed with any class of authorisation specified in column 4 opposite the class specified in column 2.
(2) If the driving authorised by a continuing driver’s licence is, as a result of subclause (1), more restricted than it would have been if these regulations had not come into operation, the licence also authorises driving that the licence authorised before the commencement day, but that authorisation is limited to the transitional period.
(3) The transitional period for a driver’s licence is the period during the 18 months commencing on the commencement day while the licence, or the licence as renewed, continues in force.
(1) A person whose driver’s licence authorises additional driving under clause 2(2) may, at any time while the additional driving is authorised, apply to the Director General for the licence to be varied as necessary to authorise the additional driving without the limitation referred to in clause 2(2).
(2) An application under subclause (1) is to be —
(a) in a form approved by the Director General; and
(b) accompanied by such proof of the applicant’s driving experience as the Director General may require, verified by statutory declaration.
(3) On an application under subclause (1), the Director General is to grant the variation if the Director General is satisfied that the applicant has demonstrated his or her ability to control a motor vehicle to which the variation applies and satisfied any requirements prescribed in relation to a licence for the vehicle.
(4) The Director General may, in satisfaction of the requirement that the applicant demonstrate an ability to control the motor vehicle, accept evidence other than that obtained from a driving test.
(1) A continuing learner’s permit that, immediately before the commencement day, was appropriate to a motor vehicle of a class specified in Schedule 2 column 1 continues as if these regulations had not come into operation, but as a learner’s permit —
(a) for a motor vehicle of a class specified in column 2 opposite the class specified in column 1; and
(b) subject to any condition or limitation specified in column 3 opposite the class specified in column 2 (in addition to any condition or limitation to which the permit may have been subject before the commencement day).
(2) Regulation 4B of, and Schedule 4 to, the
Road Traffic (Drivers’ Licences) Regulations 1975 do not apply to the holder of a continuing learner’s permit.
