Part 5: Road traffic Section 88 and Schedule 8: Road traffic offences: minor and consequential amendments
Section 88 introduces Schedule 8 which makes minor and consequential amendments in relation to sections 86 and 87.
	Paragraph 1(2)(a) amends section 12E of the RTOA 1988 (effect of motor race order) by inserting the new offence into the table at section 12E(3). The table contains a list of statutory provisions which do not apply in relation to authorised on-road races in England and Wales which comply with the prescribed conditions under certain circumstances.
	Paragraph 1(2)(b)-(c) amends the table at section 12E(3) so that it refers to the current section 3ZB offence (causing death by driving: unlicensed or uninsured drivers) and inserts the section 3ZC offence (causing death by driving: disqualified drivers). This update reflects that section 3ZB and section 3ZC are now separate offences, as made by the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015. This Act had the effect of separating out the offence of causing death by driving: disqualified drivers, from the offence of causing death by driving: unlicensed or uninsured drivers. The table is also amended to include the section 3ZD offence (causing serious injury by driving: disqualified drivers) to avoid an anomaly whereby a competitor could otherwise be charged with causing serious injury by driving whilst disqualified, but not with the offence of causing death by driving whilst disqualified.
	Paragraph 1(3) inserts the new section 2C offence into section 12H(3) (races and trials of speed in Scotland). Section 12H(3) disapplies certain offences in relation to authorised on-road races in Scotland under certain circumstances.
	Paragraph 1(4) inserts the new section 2C offence into section 13A(1) (disapplication of sections 1 to 3 for authorised motoring events). Section 13A disapplies certain offences in relation to authorised off-road racing events.
	Paragraph 2(2)(a) amends section 24(1) of the RTOA 1988 to include the new section 2C offence of causing serious injury by careless, or inconsiderate, driving as an alternative verdict to a section 1A offence of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Paragraph 2(2)(b) amends the same section so that the section 3 offence of careless, and inconsiderate, driving can be an alternative verdict to the new section 2C offence of causing serious injury by careless, or inconsiderate, driving.
	Paragraph 2(3) inserts the new section 2C offence into the table after paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the RTOA 1988. Schedule 1 lists which sections of the RTOA 1988 apply in relation to prosecutions of certain road traffic offences. The table after paragraph 4 details the provisions creating the offence, the general nature of the offence and the applicable provisions of the Act.
	Paragraph 3 inserts the new section 2C offence into new paragraph 3(bb) of Schedule 3 to the Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003. This places a duty on the Secretary of State to notify the Republic of Ireland of a UK driving disqualification arising from a conviction for causing serious injury by careless, or inconsiderate, driving for the purposes of mutual recognition of the driving disqualification in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
	Paragraph 4 inserts the new section 2C offence into paragraph 12(aj) of Schedule 2 to the Armed Forces Act 2006 (road traffic offences in relation to which duty to notify service police of possible corresponding service offence arises).
