When applying as a new FHV Applicant, it is required that the Defensive Driving Course certificate be dated within six months of the application date. This criterion ensures that applicants have received the most current training related to safe driving practices and defensive driving techniques. These skills are critical for FHV drivers, as they help enhance safety on the roads and minimize the risk of accidents. By requiring a relatively recent course completion, the regulations aim to ensure that drivers are well-prepared to handle the challenges of modern driving conditions. The time frame of six months is designed to strike a balance between ensuring up-to-date training and allowing applicants sufficient time to complete the course before submitting their applications.
