Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 by permitting, on the rear of a vehicle, a plate displaying the international distinguishing sign of the United Kingdom in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) 2411/98 (notwithstanding that it comprises retro reflective material which is not red). The Regulations have been made in consequence of the making of the Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/561).
