Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 34A of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (which was inserted by section 30 of the Road Traffic Act 1991) empowers a court to make an order requiring a person who has been convicted of a drink-drive offence to attend a rehabilitation course. Section 31(1) of the 1991 Act, as subsequently modified by order, restricts the exercise of this power to an experimental period terminating at the end of 1999, and during that period to the trial of certain offences in designated courts, unless those restrictions are removed by an order made under subsection (2). This Order removes the restrictions.

By virtue of the Courses for Drink-Drive Offenders (Experimental Period) Order 1997 (S.I. 1997/949) the time specified in subsection (1) was amended to the end of 1999.
(3)
1988 c. 53. Section 34A was inserted by section 30 of the 1991 Act.
