Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations modify the Road Traffic (Foreign Vehicles) Act 1972 (“the 1972 Act”) in order to provide an express power to examiners to prohibit goods vehicles which do not conform with the requirements of the Goods Vehicles (Community Authorisations) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3077) (“the 1992 Regulations”). The 1992 Regulations give effect in the United Kingdom to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 881/92 of 26 March 1992 (O.J. No. L95, 9.4.1992, p.1) (“the EC Regulation”).
The EC Regulation established a Community-wide authorisation allowing goods vehicles access to the market in the carriage of goods by road between Member States.
Provision is made in regulation 2 of these Regulations for modification of the 1972 Act, so that an examiner exercising the functions of an authorised inspecting officer under the EC Regulation may prohibit the driving of a vehicle on the road, where it appears to him that there may have been a contravention of regulation 3 or 7 of the 1992 Regulations.
