410 Mr. Fleming asked the Minister for Transport if a person who has a full driver’s licence for a car, 54-seater bus, rigid lorry and articulated lorry and wishes to obtain a licence for a motorbike is legally obliged to undergo a theory test; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30114/05]
View answerIn accordance with the provisions of the European Communities (Driving Theoretical Tests) Regulations 2003 and in line with EU directive requirements, a person who wishes to obtain a driving licence entitlement for the first time in respect of a particular vehicle category must firstly pass the driver theory test for that particular vehicle category unless the person has already done so.
