Thread resurrection!
The DVLA are now considering adopting the allowed for derogation that would allow car drivers over 21, to drive a three wheeler in the UK. However, my understanding is anyone who uses this would not be able to drive in any other country.
There is now preliminary talk of a fourth driving licence directive, and possibly further addressing the issue but that would take many years to become law.
Anyway, the DVLA are holding a consultation on this and other issues. The survey has supposedly been now modified to allow one to give a nil response to other issues, but a recent report suggests this might not work.
So if you are in the UK, please go
here and give your views.
Personally I suggest you agree with adopting the derogation, but in the notes at the end, say something like this:
Consultation done as a result of the three wheeler driving on a car licence issue. While the derogation goes some way toward addressing the changes, it still does not go far enough in my opinion. In a ideal world, car bodied three wheelers should have remained as they were before the implementation of the misguided directive. Please don't use my words, although we are lobbying, being seen as a lobby group using a standard form of words will dilute the effect.
