Part 1: Haulage Policy Background Section 6: Production of permits and inspection of vehicles
Section 6 provides enforcement powers to examiners when it appears that a vehicle is being used on a relevant journey. These powers are:
to require the driver to produce any international road transport permit carried on the vehicle for inspection and copying (subsection (2)(a));
to inspect the vehicle to determine whether a permit is required and that a vehicle is being used in line with the conditions on the permit (subsection (2)(b); and
to detain the vehicle to carry out these checks (subsection (3)).
	Subsection (4) requires an examiner using the powers under this section to produce his or her authority to act as an examiner on request.
	Subsection (5) defines "relevant journey" meaning that these powers are only exercisable if the vehicle is travelling abroad on a journey that requires a permit (under section 1(1)), or if the vehicle will conduct a journey requiring a permit while not in the UK (under subsection (1)(b)).
