Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that difficulties arise from the present distinction between reversible and non- 198W reversible three-wheeled vehicles in his Regulations about driving licences and driving tests; and what action he will take to remedy this.
§ Mr. MarplesYes. I propose making new Regulations which will remove the distinction by placing all three-wheeled vehicles (except motor cycle combinations) in a separate driving licence group. This means, however, that new stocks of driving licences are having to be printed and it will be three or four months before I can make the change. When the new Regulations come into force, any driver holding a substantive driving licence covering either the present Group A or Group G will be able to drive any such three-wheeled vehicles without having to pass a further driving test.
