Explanatory note

These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Tests) Regulations 1981 by exercising the power given by subsection (10A) of section 44 of the Road Traffic Act 1972 to exempt a public service vehicle adapted to carry more than 8 passengers from the provisions of subsection (1) of that section (which imposes a requirement for a test certificate to be issued in respect of certain vehicles in certain circumstances).

The said exemption depends on a certificate, and no such certificate shall be valid for more than 3 months.
