Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicle Testing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1995 by amending fees payable for certain goods vehicles which are required to have a full inspection under Article 81 of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (where driving of a defective vehicle on a road has been prohibited). These Regulations make the following principal change—

The fees payable for a full inspection of goods vehicles over 3,500 kilograms maximum gross weight are now divided into 3 categories and the previous single fee of £32·50 has been reduced as follows—

(a)for a rigid vehicle with 2 axles, to £28·00; and

(b)for a rigid vehicle with 3 axles, to £30·00.

The fee for any other vehicle remains unchanged at £32·50.
