Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations re-enact the Motor Vehicles (Off Road Events) Regulations 1992.
Section 13A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 provides that a person shall not be guilty of an offence under sections 1, 2 or 3 of the 1988 Act by virtue of driving a vehicle in a public place other than a road if he shows that he was driving in accordance with an authorisation for a motoring event given under these Regulations.
The offences under sections 1, 2 and 3 of the 1988 Act are causing death by dangerous driving, dangerous driving, and careless and inconsiderate driving.
These Regulations prescribe bodies who can grant an authorisation for a motoring event and require a person applying for an authorisation to pay a fee specified by the body concerned (regulations 3 and 4).
The 1992 Regulations required that every authorisation for a motoring event contain a condition, that specified information concerning the event be given to the police, in the form of a written notice at least 6 weeks before the date the event was to occur. This requirement is not re-enacted.
