The Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) (Amendment) Regulations 1999
These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Regulations 1972 so as to exempt an applicant for a vehicle licence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 from the requirements of regulation 9(1) of those Regulations (production of evidence of insurance) if specified conditions are complied with. The conditions are that the applicant must be covered by a policy issued by an insurer which has entered into an agreement with the Secretary of State, whereby either the Secretary of State can verify from a data base maintained by the insurer, or the insurer confirms to the Secretary of State, that the necessary policy will be in force when the licence has effect.
