Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations consolidate with modifications the Regulations specified in Schedule 1.

The principal changes are:—

An event involving not more than 12 vehicles is only authorised unconditionally if it does not take place within 8 days of any other similar event, where the promoters of each event are either the same person or members of the same club (Regulation 5(a)).

All events, other than those authorised unconditionally by Regulation 5 which were previously authorised by the Royal Automobile Club, or by the chief officer of police in England and Wales or the chief constable in Scotland of the appropriate area, are now to be authorised by the Royal Automobile Club (Regulation 6).

A revised form of particulars to be given in the application for authorisation of an event is prescribed (Regulation 7 and Schedule 2).

The fee to be paid for the authorisation of an event by the Royal Automobile Club is increased to £5 plus £3 for each 50 miles or part thereof of the length of the route of the event on the public highway (Regulation 8).

A new condition subject to which events, other than those authorised by Regulation 5, are to be held, requires each driver to have one hour's rest after each 200 miles which he drives (Regulation 9 and Schedule 3 paragraph 15).

The list of events specified in Schedule 4 has been increased by the addition of two events.
