  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Public Service Accessibility Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/1970) by correcting a number of errors and making two minor amendments. The principal changes are as follows.\nIn Schedule 1—\n(a) paragraph 10(2) (which relates to the interior and exterior illumination of regulated public service vehicles) is amended to permit the use of a manual, as well as an automatic, means of preventing the lighting adversely affecting the driver’s vision; and\n(b) in Part II, an error in Diagram A (which shows wheelchair dimensions) is corrected by the substitution of a new diagram which shows that the measurement of 150mm should be made from ground level to the bottom of the footrest on which the wheelchair user’s foot is placed rather than from ground level to the top of the wheelchair user’s foot.\nIn Schedule 2, the requirement in paragraph 5 that the height which a handrail is to extend be measured from the floor of the vehicle is altered so that, in cases where there is a wheel arch or similar structure, the measurement may be made from the lowest height that is practicable.\nA copy of these Regulations will be available free of charge to past and present purchasers of the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000.",
