Application to take a motor cycle driving test

(1) A person who wishes to submit himself for a motor cycle driving  test
shall deliver to the Commissioner-

   (a)  his identity document;

   (b)  a course certificate issued under Part IXB of the Ordinance; and

   (c)  an application therefor in a form specified by the Commissioner,
        signed by the applicant.

(2) On receipt of an application under paragraph (1) and the payment of the
fee prescribed in the Second Schedule, the Commissioner shall issue to the
applicant a motor cycle driving test form in a form specified by the
Commissioner, and as soon as is practicable thereafter, shall notify the
applicant of the date, time and place of the motor cycle  driving test. (34 of
1993 s. 5)

(3) No person shall be eligible to take any part of a motor cycle 
driving test unless he holds a valid motor cycle driving test form issued
under paragraph (2).

(4) A motor cycle driving test form issued under paragraph (2) shall cease to
be valid-

   (a)  if the holder thereof fails to attend for a motor cycle driving  test
        on the date and at the time and place notified under paragraph (2)
        unless-

        (i)    the holder has given not less than 7 days' notice to the
               Commissioner of his inability to attend for such test; or

        (ii)   the Commissioner is satisfied that the holder was through
               circumstances beyond his control unable to attend for such
               test; or

   (b)  on the expiration of 18 months after the date on which it was issued.

(5) If a motor cycle driving test form issued under paragraph (2) continues to
be valid by virtue of paragraph (4)(a)(i) or (ii), the Commissioner shall give
reasonable notice to the holder thereof of the date, time and place of a
further motor cycle driving test and, if the holder thereof fails to attend
for such further test, paragraph (4) shall apply as if the date, time and
place of the test had been notified under paragraph (2).

(6) The Commissioner may refund the fee paid to him under paragraph

(2) and cancel the motor cycle driving test form issued under that paragraph
if he is satisfied that-

   (a)  it would not be in the public interest to issue to the holder thereof
        a learner's driving licence in respect of a motor cycle or motor
        tricycle;

   (b)  the holder thereof is either ineligible to obtain, or is disqualified
        from obtaining or holding, a driving licence; or

   (c)  the holder thereof has been unable to attend for the motor 
        cycle driving test owing to-

        (i)    the test having been cancelled at short notice by the
               Commissioner; or

        (ii)   other circumstances beyond the control of the holder thereof.
