Public Service Vehicles (Conditions of Fitness, Equipment, Use and Certification)(Amendment)(No. 3) Regulations 2005 No. 2986

Summary:	The Public Passenger Vehicles Act 1981 requires that a vehicle adapted to carry more than eight passengers and used as a Public Service Vehicle shall not be used on a road unless a certificate has been issued indicating that prescribed conditions of initial fitness have been fulfilled. These prescribed conditions may be found in Part II of the Public Service Vehicles (Conditions of Fitness, Equipment, Use and Certification) Regulations 1981 (S.I.1981/257). It is necessary that the 1981 Regulations are modified so that requirements of Directive 2001/85/EC (OJ L42 13.2.2002 p1.) ("the Directive") are offered as an alternative, as article 2 of the Directive provides that member States shall not refuse or prohibit sale or entry into service of a bus or coach, or of bodywork intended to be part of the bus or coach which may be type approved separately, if the requirements of the Directive and its Annexes are met. Regulation 2 provides that the requirements in Part II of the 1981 Regulations may alternatively be met by a vehicle satisfying such of the Annexes of the Directive as apply to it.
Made Under:	Road Traffic Act 1988 (C. 52) - section 41(1)
