Decided without a hearing
Decision given on: 01 July 2026
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
YASSER REHMAN
Appellant
and
THE REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is struck out under Rule 8(3) because there is no reasonable prospect of it
succeeding.
REASONS
1. The appeal concerns the Appellant’s application for a third trainee licence.
2. Under Regulation 14(b) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2025 a trainee
licence remains in force until the day immediately following the trainee’s third unsuccessful
attempt at the instructional ability test.
3. The Respondent informed the Tribunal by a form GRC5 dated 13 May 2026 that the Appellant
failed their third attempt at the instructional ability test on 11 May 2026. Accordingly, the
appeal must fail, because the Appellant is no longer eligible to hold a trainee licence. The
Respondent applied for the appeal to be struck out.
4. The Tribunal directed the Appellant on 13 May 2026 to provide any submissions as to why
the appeal should not be struck out. The Appellant did not respond.
