Ensures the permits offered for the trial traffic filters
are appropriate and workable.
New permit is in response to feedback from the court. The
location of the court means a significant detour might be required for some
magistrates who drive to court. Unpaid
magistrates can be challenging to recruit and retain, and the court has raised
concerns about magistrates’ personal security when travelling to and from
court.
The driving test centre permit added under a delegated
decision in July 2026 has proved administratively unworkable for the test
centre and in agreement with them the permit will no longer be offered.
