Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Road Transport (General) Regulation 2005 to enable a penalty notice to be issued for a breach of a licence condition imposed by clause 15CA of the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Regulation 1999.

This Regulation also enables a penalty notice to be issued for a breach of clause 47F of the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) (Road Rules) Regulation 1999 which prevents the holder of a learner licence or provisional P1 licence from using a mobile phone while driving.
This Regulation is made under the Road Transport (General) Act 2005, including sections 10

(the general regulation-making power) and 183.
