Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2021.
Subject to this section, every competency test certificate granted under section 47H(1) to an individual for a road‑only PAB remains in force —
competency test certificate
“competency test certificate”, for a class or description of test‑needed‑to‑ride‑on‑road vehicle, means —(a)for any road-only PAB — a certificate granted under section 47H(1) certifying that an individual has passed the prescribed test of competence for that class or description of power‑assisted bicycle; or(b)for any other test‑needed-to‑ride‑on‑road vehicle, which is either a bicycle or power‑assisted bicycle — a certificate granted under section 23F of the Active Mobility Act 2017 certifying that an individual has passed the test of competence prescribed under that Act for that class or description of bicycle or power‑assisted bicycle;
for the period specified in the competency test certificate; or
for the natural life of the individual if no period in paragraph (a) is specified.
A test authority may cancel a competency test certificate granted under section 47H(1) to an individual for a road‑only PAB if —
the test authority is satisfied that the competency test certificate had been obtained by the individual by fraud or misrepresentation; or
the prescribed test of competence for the road‑only PAB has so materially changed after the grant of the competency test certificate as to affect the assessment of the individual’s continued competency to ride the road‑only PAB.
A competency test certificate granted under section 47H(1) to an individual may be cancelled by a test authority under subsection (2) by the test authority giving notice to the individual concerned of the cancellation.
A competency test certificate that is cancelled under subsection (2) is void from the date of cancellation specified in the notice under subsection (3).
