Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
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.
This Order adds further areas to the list of areas designated for the purposes of section 31 of the 1991 Act by the 1992 Order. It takes account of relevant changes made under the Local Government Act 1992(c. 19).
