The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2021
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2864, “the 1999 Regulations”) to provide that the off road elements of the practical driving test for large vehicles and those with heavy trailers shall be defined as a separate part of the practical test as the ‘large vehicle off road manoeuvres test’. The large vehicle off road manoeuvres tests can be conducted, in addition to DVSA examiners, by a new category of 3rd party examiners that can be appointed by the Secretary of State, defined as a ‘large vehicle off road manoeuvres test examiner’.
