  "long_title": "These Regulations introduce a statutory regime whereby a vehicle adapted to carry more than eight passengers which is being, or has been, used on a road in contravention of the public service vehicle operator licensing requirements in section 12 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 can be detained by an authorised person (defined as an examiner appointed by the Secretary of State under section 66A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 or a person acting under the direction of such an examiner). The regime prescribed is similar to that already in place in respect of goods vehicles operated in contravention of the relevant licensing requirements, as set out in the Goods Vehicles (Enforcement Powers) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3981), made under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995.",
