These Regulations amend the Road Transport (International Passenger Services) Regulations 1984 so as to implement with respect to Great Britain and in relation to the transport of passengers the provisions of the agreement between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union concerning international road transport signed on the 22nd January 1988 (Cmd. 421.). This agreement comes into force on a date to be notified in the London Gazette.

Under the powers conferred by section 4 of the Road Traffic (Foreign Vehicles) Act 1972 (c. 27) an examiner (as defined in section 7 of that Act) will be able to require the driver of a visiting Soviet public service vehicle to produce the list of passengers required to be carried by section 12 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 as substituted by regulation 2, to inspect and copy it, to detain the vehicle and in the event of failure to comply, to prohibit the driving of the vehicle.
