This Order designates the Falkland Islands under section 108(2)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 as making satisfactory provisions for the issue of certain classes of driving licence. This enables a person holding one of these licences to exchange it for a corresponding British licence.
The licences affected are those authorising the driving of mopeds, motor cycles, motor cars and small goods vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes maximum authorised mass (with or without a trailer), tractors, pedestrian controlled vehicles and mowing machines.
There are specific provisions regarding motor bicycle licences. Most licences authorising the driving of motor bicycles are also exchangeable. However, if that licence is one which had previously been granted in exchange for a licence held by a person who had originally passed a driving test in the Republic of Korea it may not be exchanged for a corresponding British licence.
The Order also provides that a licence may not be exchanged for a British licence authorising the driving of vehicles with manual transmission unless the holder took a driving test on a vehicle with manual transmission.
