(1) If the road transport authority approves an application by a person for the issue of a learner motorcycle or car licence, the authority must issue a learner licence of that class to the person.
Note 1 Regulation 69 deals with the application procedure and regulation 70 sets out when an application can be refused. If an application is not refused under regulation 70, it must be approved unless regulation 71 applies (see reg 72).
Note 2 If a person applies for a licence for which the person is not eligible to apply, regulation 71 enables the road transport authority, with the person's agreement, to deal with the application as if it were an application for a licence for which the person is eligible.
(2) If the road transport authority approves an application by a person for the variation of a driver licence to include a learner motorcycle or car licence, the authority must issue a driver licence that includes that class to the person.
