These Regulations further amend the Goods Vehicles (Testing) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 23 of the 2003 Regulations in relation to the production of a goods vehicle 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 an effective goods vehicle test certificate or certificate of temporary exemption in existence in respect of the vehicle.
Regulation 3 amends paragraph 33(b)(ii) of Schedule 2 to the 2003 Regulations (classes of vehicles to which these Regulations do not apply) 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.
