Road Vehicles Lighting (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2005 No. 3169

Summary:	These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989. Regulation 2 adds a new exemption into Part 1 of the 1989 Regulations. A vehicle used by a vehicle examiner will be exempt from the requirements of the regulations in Part 2 (governing the fitting of lamps, reflectors, rear markings and devices) and Part 3 (governing the maintenance and use of lamps, reflectors, rear markings and devices), where the intended purpose is to submit that vehicle for an examination at a vehicle testing station in order to make sure that the examination carried out there is in accordance with the required testing standards. The exemption also allows the vehicle to be driven away from the vehicle testing station after the completion of the examination. In order to fall within the exemption two requirements must be met. Firstly, the vehicle must be being used by a vehicle examiner who has been authorised in writing by the Secretary of State for these purposes. Secondly, the vehicle examiner using the vehicle must reasonably believe that any defects in the vehicle do not give rise to a danger of injury to any person while it is being used for the purpose specified in the exemption.
Made Under:	Road Traffic Act 1988 (C. 52) - section 41(1), (2) and (5)
Amending:	Amend the Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989 S.I. 1989/1796.
