EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 (“the 2002 Regulations”) to revise certain duties and other matters related to damaged motor vehicles.
Regulation 3 – The definition of “registration document fee exemption” in the 2002 Regulations has been amended to reflect a new industry practice in the categorisation of damaged vehicles and subsequent notification to the Secretary of State about the vehicle’s condition.
Regulations 4 and 6 – These correct errors in the 2002 Regulations that were introduced by S.I. 2015/403; the registration document fee exemption was incorrectly referred to as the “registration fee document exemption”.
Regulation 5 – Schedule 3A to the 2002 Regulations has effect in relation to the issue of any new registration documents for certain categories of vehicles when any one of the conditions specified in regulation 15A(7) is satisfied. Regulation 5 amends two of these conditions to reflect a new industry practice in categorising damaged vehicles.
Regulation 7 – This amends the trigger for a duty to surrender/destroy registration documents for damaged vehicles so that it applies in a broader range of circumstances than before. It also restricts the duty’s applicability to documents relating to vehicles with structural damage.
Regulation 8 – This amends Schedule 3A so that the duties to notify the Secretary of State about a damaged vehicle and destroy documents must be carried out in a broader range of circumstances than before. The notification must also now specify whether the vehicle sustained structural damage and the related duty to notify the vehicle’s keeper has been similarly amended.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
