(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Public Service Vehicles (Conditions of Fitness, Equipment, Use and Certification) Regulations 1981 (SI 1981/257).
Regulation 2 amends Schedule 2 to the 1981 Regulations so that a steam-powered vehicle manufactured before 1st January 1955 is eligible to be issued with a certificate of initial fitness under section 6 of the Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981, even though it does not meet the requirements of regulation 14 of the 1981 Regulations. Regulation 14 requires that the exhaust pipe of a public service vehicle shall be fitted or shielded so that inflammable material is prevented from falling upon the pipe from another part of the vehicle and causing fire, and the outlet of the pipe shall be either at the rear, or on the offside and far enough to the rear, to prevent so far as practicable fumes from entering the vehicle.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
