(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Statutory Off-Road Notification) Regulations 1997. Regulation 5 of those Regulations is amended so as to make it clear that, on the surrender of a vehicle licence, the required declaration must be made and particulars furnished at the same time as the licence is surrendered. Regulation 6 is amended so that the requirement to make a declaration and furnish particulars where a vehicle licence expires applies also on the expiry of a nil licence. By the insertion of a new regulation 8, prescribing the 1997 Regulations for the purposes of section 59(2)(a) of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994, offences of contravening or failing to comply with those Regulations will attract a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
