Regulation 4 Power of constable to remove vehicles

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

Except as provided by regulation 7 of these Regulations, where a vehicle—

(a)

is a vehicle to which regulation 3 of these Regulations applies, or

(b)

having broken down on a road or on any land in the open air, appears to a constable to have been abandoned without lawful authority, or

(c)

has been permitted to remain at rest on a road or on any land in the open air in such a position or in such condition or in such circumstances as to appear to a constable to have been abandoned without lawful authority,

then, subject to the provisions of sections 99 and 100 of the 1984 Act, a constable may remove or arrange for the removal of the vehicle, and, in the case of a vehicle which is on a road, he may remove it or arrange for its removal from that road to a place which is not on that or any other road, or may move it or arrange for its removal to another position on that or another road.
