|
|
| |
(2) Where a person applying under this section to the Commissioner for a driver's licence satisfies the Commissioner that he holds or formerly held a driver's licence granted under this section, the Commissioner may, if he so thinks fit, dispense with the obligation imposed on such person by this section of holding a certificate of competency.

|
| |
(3) Every driver's licence shall—
|
|
| |
(a) be in such form as the Commissioner shall direct, and
|
|
| |
(b) be identified by a separate serial number, and
|
|
| |
(c) where the person to whom such licence is granted holds a certificate of competency to drive a large public service vehicle, such licence shall be expressed and shall operate to license such person to drive a public service vehicle of any kind, and
|
|
| |
(d) where a person to whom such licence is granted holds only a certificate of competency to drive a small public service vehicle, such licence shall be expressed and shall operate to license such person to drive a small public service vehicle only.
|
|
| |
(4) The holding of a driver's licence shall not relieve from the obligation to comply with the provisions of this Act in relation to driving licences.
|
|
| |
(5) In this Part of this Act the expression “licensed driver” means a person who is the holder of a driver's licence granted to him and for the time being in force.
