Article 7

The exemption given in respect of regulation 16(1)(c) shall cease if the operator of an exempted vehicle does not notify the Secretary of State in writing of any physical injury, which is suffered by a disabled person in a wheelchair while in a wheelchair space, within a period of seven days starting with the date on which that injury occurred.

Where such an injury comes to the notice of the Secretary of State, if it is his opinion that conformity with regulation 16(1)(c) would have prevented that injury he may notify the operator of each exempted vehicle in writing that the exemption given in respect of regulation 16(1)(c) will cease three months after the date on which such notice is given.
