The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) (Amendment) (No. 3) Regulations 2007
These Regulations amend the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 (“the 1986 Regulations”), to reflect the amendments made to Directive 72/306/EEC by Directives 89/491/EEC, 97/20/EC and 2005/21/EC. These Regulations also amend the 1986 Regulations to extend the category of vehicles that will be exempt from the requirement of having a metered smoke test, as permitted by Council Directive 96/96/EC on roadworthiness tests for motor vehicles and their trailers (OJ No. L46, 17.2.97, p.1); and to insert, into the conditions that applied to authorised sealers, the extended categories of vehicles required to be fitted with a speed limiter, as a result of implementing Directive 2002/85/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the installation and use of speed limitation devices for certain categories of motor vehicles in the Community (OJ No. L57, 4.12.2002, p.327).
