Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 introduces new provisions dealing with driving instruction. As a consequence these Regulations partially revoke the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (the 2004 Regulations) and re-enact with several amendments.

The Regulations provide for the establishment and maintenance of a Register of driving instructors and prescribe the requirements necessary for registration.

In particular, the Regulations—

• (a) prescribe the time limits within which a person must apply for an extension of his registration and the requirements as to which the Registrar must be satisfied before granting an extension (regulation 5);

• (b) prescribe the conditions as to which the Registrar must be satisfied before terminating a person’s registration and the conditions which must be satisfied when a person again applies to be registered after having previously had their registration terminated (regulation 6);

• (c) make it a requirement for an approved driving instructor to display his certificate when giving driving instruction (regulation 15);

• (d) prescribe the circumstances under which driving instruction provided free of charge is deemed to be given for the payment of money (regulation 16);

• (e) prescribe the fees to be paid with regard to the registration process and the circumstances under which those fees paid are to be refunded (regulations 17 and 18 and Schedule 6);

• (f) provide for exemptions from the requirement for registration for certain persons (regulations 20, 21 and 22); and

• (g) make transitional provisions in respect of—

• (i) applications made but not determined, and

• (ii) persons registered as driving instructors,

before these Regulations come into operation (regulation 23).
