the issue or variation of a driver licence held or to be held by a person. The
scheme applies to the extent approved by Transport for NSW.
(2) Transport for
NSW may require the person to have been assessed under the scheme as being
competent to hold the licence as a prerequisite to the making of the
determination, or may instead offer assessment under the scheme as an
alternative to other means of testing (or provision of information) for the
purposes of the determination.
(2A) Without limiting subclause (1), Transport
for NSW may, in approving a scheme under this clause, approve providers of,
and assessors under, the scheme.
(3) Transport for NSW may issue an applicant
for entry into the scheme a log book appropriate to the licence that the
applicant seeks to be assessed as competent to hold, together with
documentation explaining the operation of the scheme and its relationship to
the issue of driver licences.
(4) An applicant for entry into the scheme must
give the provider of the scheme-- (a) a completed application in an approved
form, and
(b) personal particulars necessary to identify the applicant and
the applicant's residential address, including any evidence that Transport for
NSW may reasonably require to verify those particulars.
(5) An applicant for
entry into the scheme must-- (a) in the case of a scheme for the assessment of
a person's competency to hold a motorcycle licence--be at least 16 years and 6
months of age, or
(b) in any other case--hold a driver licence of the class
required by Transport for NSW, or satisfy such other requirements as Transport
for NSW may impose, with regard to the purpose for which the applicant is
applying for entry into the scheme.
(5A) An applicant for a learner licence
that is a motorcycle licence who is at least 16 years and 6 months of age is
exempt from the requirement to hold a licence in respect of any motor bike or
motor trike while it is being ridden in connection with assessment under the
scheme.
(6) Transport for NSW may issue a replacement log book, on payment of
the applicable fee, if it is satisfied that a log book has been lost, stolen
or damaged.
(7) In this clause--
"log book" means a book in an approved form in relation to a particular class
of driver licence-- (a) listing the driving competencies to be achieved in
order to obtain a licence of that class, and
(b) providing for the recording
and authentication, in space provided in the book of particulars of
assessment, in relation to those competencies of the person to whom the book
is issued.
