§ 10.30 p.m.
§ Mr. HayI beg to move, in page 31, line 22, column 1, at the beginning to insert:
25. An offence under section (driving with uncorrected defective eyesight) of this Act (driving with uncorrected defective eyesight or refusing to submit to test).This Amendment is supplemantary to the Government new Clause—Driving with uncorrected defective eyesight. The addition of these offences to Part II of the First Schedule puts both offences under the new Clause—that is to say, driving without the ability to meet the required eyesight standards and refusal to comply with the request of a police constable to demonstrate that ability to see—auto the category of offences for which the courts will have the discretionary power to disqualify under subsection (2) of Clause 5. They will then count for the "totting-up three in three years" automatic penalty in subsection (3) of Clause 5.
§ Amendment agreed to.
