Means of redress or appeal:
Rules concerning a lack of reply from the competent authority and the legal consequences for the use:
There is no tacit approval or tacit rejection of requests, nor payment of the amount. This is because, should the applicant driver be referred to the CPC practical examination stage, it means that they have successfully completed all the prerequisite stages. Otherwise, they would have been informed that the prerequisite stage in question was not completed and, therefore, that the procedure would not progress to the final stage of practical examination. If the practical examination is successfully completed, the necessary Certificate will then be issued/printed, either by re-printing the driving licence with the Community code ‘95’ incorporated or by issuing a Driver Qualification Card.
