Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986.
Regulation 51 of the 1986 Regulations sets out requirements concerning the fitting of sideguards to certain vehicles. The regulation is amended so that a vehicle that complies with Council Directive 89/297/EEC of 13th April 1989 (OJ No. L124, 5.5.89, p.1) does not have to comply with the existing requirements.
Copies of the Directive can be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
