The Courses for Drink-Drive Offenders (Designation of Areas) Order 1997
This Order revokes and replaces with modifications the Courses for Drink-Drive Offenders (Designation of Areas) Order 1992. Sections 34A and 34B of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 give courts in designated areas the power to order that a period of disqualification imposed on a person convicted of a drink-drive offence be reduced, if he completes a course approved by the Secretary of State. Section 31 of the Road Traffic Act 1991 applies those provisions during an experimental period which runs to the end of 1999.
