Explanatory note

Regulation 7 of the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Regulations 1972, as amended, provides that where a constable requires evidence of insurance under section 168 of the Road Traffic Act 1972 there may be produced in the case of a vehicle normally based in an EEC country other than the United Kingdom and Gibraltar or in Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden or Switzerland, a document issued by the insurer of the vehicle instead of an insurance certificate. These Regulations further amend Regulation 7 so as to apply the provision mentioned above to vehicles normally based in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic or Hungary.
