ROAD TRANSPORT (PUBLIC PASSENGER SERVICES) EXEMPTION 2005 (No 1)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Overview

The Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001 (the Act) permits the Minister to exempt vehicles and people from the Act, or a provision of the Act, pursuant to section 64(1).
 
The principal impact of the exemption is to allow a “stretch” limousine that is constructed with more than 9 seats to operate as a private hire car.

Details

The vehicle and person mentioned in this exemption were included in an exemption under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, D12002-22, notified on 
7 March 2002.  This exemption replicates the 2002 exemption and is required only because the definition of a hire car has been moved from the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 to section 60G of the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001.
