(1.0.1) If, before November 28, 2005, an applicant booked an appointment for a test described in paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of subsection (1) to be taken before, on or after November 28, 2005, or paid in full or in part for such a test, and fails to take the test without providing notice or reason that is satisfactory to the Minister, the fee for a subsequent test described in any of those paragraphs that is booked or taken after November 27, 2005 is increased by $25 for each such test that the applicant failed to take within the previous three years.

(1.0.2) After November 27, 2005, the fee for a test under paragraph 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of subsection (1), except for a test for which the fee is increased under subsection (1.0.1), is due when the test is booked and is payable even if the time booked for taking the test passes without the test being taken.

(3) Subsections 26 (3) and (4) of the Regulation are revoked and the following substituted:

(3) The fee for a Class A, B, C, D, E or F road test and an air brake endorsement practical test is the fee set out in paragraph 1 or 2 of subsection (1), as the case may be. 

(4) A fee paid under subsection (1.0.2) for a test described in any of paragraphs 1 to 5 of subsection (1) for a test that was not taken is not refundable except as follows:

1. The fee may be fully refunded or fully credited towards a subsequent fee payable by the individual for a test described in subsection (1) within the same licence class or for the same endorsement as the test the individual failed to take if the applicant provides notice or reason satisfactory to the Minister.

2. Half of the fee may be refunded or credited towards a subsequent fee payable by the individual for a test described in subsection (1) within the same licence class or for the same endorsement if the individual attended the test, but failed to take the test because the vehicle to be used by the individual in the test was considered by the Minister to be unsatisfactory for use in a road test.

3. Half of the fee may be refunded or credited towards a subsequent fee payable by the individual for a test described in subsection (1) within the same licence class or for the same endorsement if the individual attended the test, but failed to take or complete the test because a person authorized by the Minister to make such determination determined that the test could not be taken or completed.

2. This Regulation comes into force on November 28, 2005.
