(2) On the application of any person for a new driving licence endorsed in respect of any class or classes of motor vehicles in respect of which the applicant's licence has been cancelled, the licensing officer shall treat such person as if he were applying for a driving licence in respect of such class or classes of motor vehicles for the first time, and shall in no circumstances issue him with a driving licence until he has passed the prescribed test.
