Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations prescribe restrictions for the purposes of Article 19A of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 with respect to newly qualified drivers and drivers disqualified until tested. The restrictions are that an “R” plate shall be displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle and that the vehicle shall not be driven at a speed exceeding 45 mph.

The Motor Vehicles (Restrictions on Drivers) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1968, which these Regulations supersede, are revoked.
