EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicle Testing Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (the 2003 Regulations).
Regulation 2 amends regulation 14 of the 2003 Regulations so as to specify the form of the vehicle test certificate and restates the details to be contained in the notice of refusal of a test certificate. A vehicle test certificate is now a two-part certificate, Part 2 of which is a disc.
Regulation 3 inserts a new regulation 14A into the 2003 Regulations so as to require that Part 2 of either a vehicle test certificate, or a duplicate test certificate, is displayed at all times when the vehicle is on a road or other public place. Regulation 14A (2) specifies the locations where such certificates should be displayed depending on the type of vehicle. In the case of each vehicle, Part 2 of the certificate, or duplicate, should be displayed so that all particulars are clearly visible in daylight from the near side of the road.
Regulation 4 inserts a new Schedule 3A to the 2003 Regulations specifying the form of the vehicle test certificate.
A person who acts in contravention of regulation 14A shall be guilty of an offence under Article 63A of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (as inserted by Article 41 of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 2007), and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale (£200.00).
