These Regulations amend the Health Protection (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the Local Levels Regulations”). These Regulations come into force on 19 February 2021.
Regulation 3 adds paragraph 4C to schedule 5 of the Local Levels Regulations to allow for certain driving lessons and tests to be conducted in a Level 4 area.
Paragraph 4C(1) provides that driving tests may be provided by a person who is appointed to carry out tests under regulations 23(1)(c), (db) or (e) or regulation 24(1)(cb), (d) or (f) of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”). These provisions in the 1999 Regulations enable the police and fire services to provide driving tests for their employees. They also enable a bus company, where the company has been appointed for such purposes under the 1999 Regulations, to provide driving tests for its employees.
Paragraph 4C(2) provides that driving lessons may be provided for the purpose of preparing for employee driving tests to be conducted by the police and fire services and bus companies. Driving lessons may also be provided for the employees of bus companies in order to comply with the training requirements in the Vehicle Drivers (Certificate of Professional Competence) Regulations 2007.
Paragraphs 16, in relation to the restrictions on movement, and 18, in relation to the requirement to stay at home, in schedule 5, are also amended to specify that it is a reasonable excuse to access or undertake a driving lesson or take a driving test permitted under schedule 5.
