The Goods Vehicles (Enforcement Powers) Regulations 2001
Schedule 1A to the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”) (which was inserted by section 262 of the Transport Act 2000) enables regulations to be made permitting an authorised person to detain a heavy goods vehicle (“vehicle”) and its contents in circumstances where the person using the vehicle did not hold an operator’s licence for that or any other vehicle. These Regulations are made pursuant to that Schedule.
