Minister of State at the Department of Transport

Under the Road Traffic (Licensing of Drivers) Regulations 2006 (Statutory Instrument No. 537 of 2006), a driving licence may not be renewed more that 3 months before the date of expiry of the licence. It is not my intention to change this regulation at this time.
