EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicle Testing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 ("the 2003 Regulations").
Regulation 2 amends regulation 6(1)(xvii)(b)(ii) of the 2003 Regulations (exemptions) so as to substitute the reference to vehicles with an inside track width of less than 810 millimetres with a reference to vehicles with an inside track width of not more than 1100 millimetres.
Regulation 3 amends regulation 20(2) of the 2003 Regulations in relation to the production of a test certificate or a certificate of temporary exemption when applying for a licence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. The amendment provides that a licence shall not be granted unless information held by the Department of the Environment indicates that there is a current test certificate or certificate of temporary exemption in existence in respect of the vehicle.
The Motor Vehicle Testing (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 are revoked as a consequence of these Regulations (regulation 4).
A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been produced in respect of the amendment at regulation 3 and may be obtained from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland website at www.dvlni.gov.uk.
