Decision: The appeal is Dismissed.
The law
6. A licence under section 129(1) of the Act is granted, "for the purpose of enabling a person to acquire practical experience in giving instruction in driving motor cars with a view to undergoing such part of the examination… as consists of a practical test of ability and fitness to instruct". The purpose of the provisions governing the issue of licences is to afford applicants the opportunity of giving instruction to members of the public in order to achieve registration. The system of issuing licences is not and must not be allowed to become an alternative to the system of registration.
