EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Regulation is to revise the use of the expressions ”vehicle” and “motor vehicle” in the National Heavy Vehicle Standards set out as part of Schedule F to the Motor Traffic Regulations 1935. This Regulation also amends the concept of “prescribed deceleration” in line with the national guide on load restraints and sets out a clearer diagram of a 75 millimetre kingpin in those Regulations.

This Regulation is made under section 3 of the Traffic Act 1909.
