Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations

These Regulations amend the Removal and Disposal of Vehicle Regulations 1986. These amendments reflect amendments made to section 99 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 by section 55 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. They extend the power of constables in England to require the removal of vehicles from land other than a public road. The amendments also make further provision for the case where a vehicle may be removed from land other than such a road.
