EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend regulation 9 (minimum ages for holding or obtaining licences) of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/2864).

The amendment provides that the minimum age for holding or obtaining a licence for a small car driven without a trailer is 16 for persons in receipt of the mobility component at the enhanced rate of the allowance known as personal independence payment (introduced in April 2013 by the Welfare Reform Act 2012).

Recipients of the higher rate component of the disability living allowance (DLA) will also benefit from the entitlement to hold or obtain a driving licence aged 16 provided that they comply with the three requirements set out in new paragraph (4A) of regulation 9. These are that a person has received an award of the higher rate component of DLA, that the award was in force immediately before their 16th birthday and that they have made a claim for PIP (whether or not an award of PIP is subsequently made).

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is available alongside the instrument on the website http://www.legislation.gov.uk .
