EXPLANATORY NOTE

1.  These Regulations consolidate (with amendments) the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1978 as amended and the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Track Laying Vehicles) Regulations 1955 as amended. The Statutory Instruments specified in Schedule 1 are revoked and re-enacted in a new presentation with more extensive use of tabulations, more logical arrangement of material and, as far as possible, simplified language.E+W+S

Substantive changes in the requirementsE+W+S

2.  The principal new requirements (including withdrawals of exemptions) are listed and explained in sub-paragraphs (i) to (xxvi) below—

(i)regulation 7 to conform to the requirements of EC Directive 85/3, vehicles normally used on international journeys are exempted from the semi-trailer length limit of 12.2 metres;

(ii)regulation 8 an increase in the maximum permitted width of refrigerated lorries is incorporated in recognition of the need for good thermal efficiency;

(iii)regulation 9 the height limit in paragraph (1), applicable to public service vehicles whenever first used and to large passenger-carrying vehicles first used on or after 1st April 1982, is extended to all buses (the term “bus” replaces “large passenger-carrying vehicle”);

(iv)regulation 10 the requirement for height notices in cabs, since it is easily complied with and does not require modification of the vehicle, is extended to track-laying vehicles;

(v)regulation 13 the exclusions for buses first used before 1 April 1982, for minibuses and for vehicles not exceeding 7m in length are omitted;

(vi)regulation 18(4)(b) the interpretation of the requirements as to braking efficiency in the sense that they must be met by a goods vehicle when operated at its maximum design weight, which was explicit in the case of plated vehicles, is also made explicit in relation to goods vehicles which are not plated;

(vii)regulations 24 and 26 the use of temporary use spare tyres on passenger cars is permitted in certain circumstances;

(viii)regulation 26 goods vehicles and buses are required to be fitted with tyres designed and maintained to support the vehicle's maximum axle weights at the vehicle's maximum permitted speed;

(ix)regulation 28 the separate provision for agricultural motor vehicles first used before 1st January 1936 is omitted, as being out of date;

(x)regulation 32(6) this provision, previously proposed for minibuses, is extended to all buses;

(xi)regulation 32(9) the special provision in relation to French approved glass is limited to vehicles first used before 1 October 1986;

(xii)regulation 33 new provisions recognising the requirements of EC Directive 85/205 for heavy goods vehicles are introduced;

(xiii)regulations 40 and 94-96 in the interests of safety the requirements of Schedule 5 as to gas systems are extended to track-laying vehicles. The necessary statement by the Secretary of State is included in regulation 4(4);

(xiv)regulations 41-44 and Schedules 6 and 7 new construction requirements are introduced for vehicles with between 9 and 16 passenger seats first used on or after 1st April 1988;

(xv)regulation 54 the inadvertent effect of amendments to the revoked Regulations was that vehicles first used before 1st April 1970 were not subject to any requirement not to make alterations resulting in increased noise. In view of this the earlier provision (which continued to apply to track-laying vehicles) is restored;

(xvi)regulations 55 and 56 an error in S.I. 1984/1809, under which agricultural motor vehicles first used on or after 1st June 1986 and driven at more than 20 mph were excluded from certain noise requirements, but not included in others, is corrected, and new provisions concerning noise limits are introduced to comply with the requirements of EC Directive 84/424, and to set new limits for some vehicles outside the scope of the Directive;

(xvii)regulation 63 the exemption for trailer pumps used for fire brigade purposes has been omitted;

(xviii)regulation 67 the option for vehicles fitted with plates complying with Directive 76/114 is limited to vehicles first used before 1 April 1987; vehicles first used on or after that date are required to comply with Directive 78/507;

(xix)regulation 75 Table, sub3s 13 to 15, regulation 76 Table, sub3 4, and regulation 78 Table, sub3 11 special provisions, in the case of track-laying vehicles, for winding gear and for gas equipment, are omitted as being out of date;

(xx)regulation 79 and Schedule 11 to conform to the requirements of EC Directive 85/3 triaxle spacing for a 22.5 tonnes load is reduced from 1.35 metres to 1.30 metres;

(xxi)regulation 82 the previous dimensions of 1.07 and 1.83 metres are for convenience rounded to 1 and 2 metres. The treatment of track-laying vehicles is brought into line with that of wheeled vehicles;

(xxii)regulation 83 the provision under which water-carrying trailers were disregarded has been omitted, as out of date;

(xxiii)regulation 105 is extended to track-laying vehicles;

(xxiv)regulation 107 the exclusion for gas-propelled vehicles is omitted, as being out of date;

(xxv)regulation 108 the provision concerning suspension of implements is extended to track-laying vehicles;

(xxvi)regulation 109 revised provisions governing the use of television sets in motor vehicles in use on the road are introduced.

3.  Recognition of compliance with European vehicle standards as an alternative to national standards has been made more comprehensive by the insertion of appropriate references in Part II, which are interpreted in accordance with regulations 3 and 6. This system supersedes the provisions of former regulations 5, 5A, 5AA and 5B. In the former regulations the fact that a vehicle had been marked or certificated when new to show that it complied with a European standard for a particular system or component meant that it was totally exempted from the substantive regulation dealing with that system or component. Now, in the case of regulations dealing with systems or components which are liable to deteriorate or be replaced while the vehicle is in use, only continued compliance with the European standard is accepted as an alternative to compliance with the national standard.E+W+S

4.  In regulation 7 the maximum permitted length of motor vehicles having at least 4 wheels is increased from 11m to 12m in accordance with Community Directive 85/3, and, in consequence, the previous turning circle requirements for articulated buses are dropped.E+W+S

5.  References to public service vehicles are replaced by references to buses.E+W+S

6.  Other relaxations in the 1978 and 1955 (TLV) Regulations are referred to in the Table of Derivations at Annex A following; regulations which have been omitted entirely are listed, with appropriate explanations, in sub-paragraphs (i) to (xi) below—E+W+S

(i)regulations 5-5B see above (para 3);

(ii)regulation 6 no longer necessary as relevant provisions appear in individual regulations;

(iii)regulations 15 and 16 the coverage of these regulations is generally confined to vehicles subject to National Type Approval, and the systems concerned are not likely to be modified or to deteriorate;

(iv)regulations 21 and 40 and TLV regulation 13 no longer considered necessary;

(v)regulation 99 this maintenance requirement for power-weight ratio is implicit in the corresponding construction requirement, in that some maintenance is necessary to ensure continued compliance;

(vi)regulation 114 and TLV regulation 59 it is doubted whether the proviso to these regulations was intra vires; new regulation 97 is considered sufficient;

(vii)regulation 116 the in-use noise limits were not, in practice, enforceable and have therefore been omitted;

(viii)regulation 116B as the construction requirements referred to apply throughout the life of the vehicle on the road and cannot be complied with unless the parts necessary to comply with it are fitted, this regulation is considered to be superfluous;

(ix)regulation 121 (TLV66) no longer considered necessary;

(x)regulations 146 and 147 these are dropped as Part V is not retained as a separate Part. Where necessary definitions are transferred to regulation 3;

(xi)TLV regulation 77 this is no longer appropriate to the Regulations.

7.  Changes which do not affect the substance of the requirements are very numerous, but are not listed separately.E+W+S

8.  Annex B lists these regulations and shows where their content was to be found in the revoked Regulations.E+W+S

Previous regulations 3(10) and (11) are no longer required as their effect is secured is secured by the provisions of the Interpretation Act.
444 Application and Exemptions
Paragraph (1) embraces the scope of the previous Construction and Use Regulations and Track Laying Vehicles Regulations.
Paragraphs 2 and 3 introduce new provisions making it unnecessary to define classes of motor vehicles by date of manufacture as well as by date of first use. Such definitions in the revoked Regulations appear in these Regulations as definitions referring solely to date of first use, the effect of the revoked references to date of manufacture being preserved by the new provisions.
The Table reproduces the effect of previous regulations 4(2) to (13) except as follows—
Previous paragraphs (2) and (4) have been embodied in the regulations conerned;
Previous paragraph (5) is omitted because the scope of the Regulations generally is use of vehicles on roads and the conept of limiting certain regulations to highways and thus theoretically exempting from them vehicles used only on roads which are not highways in considered to be of no practical significance;
Previous paragraph (6) is no longer required (but see paragraph 2(viii) above).
The exemption for having implements in item 7 of the Table (previous regulation 4(12)) is extended to cover previous regulations 80A and 95A. Previous paragraph (13) is considered to be implicit in any reference to the drawing of a brokendown vehicle and is therefore omitted.
57 Provisions as respects Trade Descriptions Act 1968
A reference to treating marks as evidence of compliance with a standard is added, in consequence of regulation 6. This provision is extended to track-laying vehicles.
6 Compliance with Community Directives and ECE Regulations
This Regulation explains what constitutes compliance with an EC Directive or an ECE Regulation.

the omission of the requirement to have two means of operation;

(b)

the omission of the requirements in previous regulations 51(6), 55(5), 59(13) and 64(13);

(c)

the replacement of provisions relating to determining whether brakes apply to at least half the wheels of a vehicle by less complex provisions, in paragraph (4) of Schedule 3.

(d)

the extension to track-laying vehicles of certain exemptions applying only to wheeled vehicles. The reference to 7 passengers in former regulation 64(5) is effectively altered to 8 passengers (Sch. 3 para 4(d)).
