Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Goods Vehicle (Plating and Testing) Regulations 1988. The 1988 Regulations require specified classes of goods vehicle to undergo examinations for plating and annual tests.
Schedule 2 to the 1988 Regulations exempts vehicles from the provisions of the Regulations. Paragraph 16 of the Schedule as originally enacted exempted a vehicle which was exempt from duty under section 7(1) of the Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 (c. 10). Section 7(1) was re-enacted as paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. Paragraph 21 is repealed by Part V of Schedule 29 to the Finance Act 1995 (c. 4).
These Regulations replace paragraph 16 of the 1988 Regulations with a provision exempting a vehicle when it is used on a road in circumstances that are similar to those that attracted the exemption from duty under paragraph 21 of Schedule 2 to the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994. The exemption relates to vehicles that are used on roads for distances not exceeding an aggregate of 6 miles a week.
Some minor amendments are made as a consequence of the amendment of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 by the Finance Act 1995.
