  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Public Service Vehicles (Operators’ Licences) Regulations 1995 (“the principal Regulations”).\nSection 18 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 (“the 1981 Act”) requires a disc to be exhibited on any vehicle used under an operator’s licence (“disc”). The principal Regulations provide, amongst other things, for the period of validity of such discs and for such period to be shown on the disc.\nThese Regulations simplify the principal Regulations by removing the requirement for discs to show a coming into force date as well as an expiry date (which will still need to be shown) and substitute a new and simplified regulation 11 of the principal Regulations, providing for discs to expire at the end of each 5 year period after the coming into force of the licence.\nA full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument. No impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen, except for a reduction in the cost and administrative burdens associated with discs.",
