(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”) make provision about the fitting and maintenance of lighting equipment for motor vehicles and trailers used on roads. These Regulations amend the 2000 Regulations to give effect to the requirements of Article 6 of Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on periodic road worthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers.
These Regulations amend the 2000 Regulations to insert new references to adaptive front lighting systems, daytime running lamps, headlamp cleaning devices, reversing lamps and front fog lamps.
