The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) (Amendment)(No. 2) Regulations 1994
These Regulations amend (with minor drafting alterations) regulation 24(2) of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1987. They alter the conditions which a person suffering from epilepsy has to satisfy if he is to be granted a driving licence. The principal change is that the period during which he must have been free from attacks whilst awake is reduced from two years to one year. As a consequence the provisions as to persons with a history of sleep attacks are slightly affected. A person who last had a sleep attack between one and two years before the granting of the licence now falls within paragraph (a) of regulation 24(2) rather than paragraph (b).
