Driving tests

(1) A transport officer in his discretion may require an applicant for a Belize Driving Licence to produce a certificate of having passed a driving test signed by such person as may be approved of by the Department. (2) Driving tests may be conducted by such examiners as the Department shall from time to time approve or appoint for the purpose. (3) The nature of the driving test shall be at the discretion of the transport officer or of such examiners as aforesaid but shall include a test of the applicant’s knowledge of the rules of the road, road signals and road signs. (4) If the applicant requires permission to drive a particular class of vehicle only or if the applicant is being tested under section 32 (2), then the examiner shall issue a certificate on which any appropriate restrictions are clearly set forth, after satisfying himself by means of such tests as he may deem suitable that the applicant is qualified to drive a vehicle of such particular class or of such particular construction, and in such cases, the transport officer shall clearly set forth the restrictions on the licence itself.
