MOTOR TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

No. 2 of 1968

	Under the existing provisions of the Motor Traffic Regulations, the registration label of a motor vehicle, other than a motor cycle, has to be attached on the inside of the windscreen in such a manner that the centre of the label is not more than six inches from the left hand or near side of the windscreen and so that the front of the label faces towards the front of the motor vehicle.

	To avoid the inconvenience of replacing registration labels because of broken windscreens and also to bring the legislation in line with the practice already adopted in some of the States, the Regulations are amended by providing that it will be sufficient for the registration label to be affixed as near as practicable to the bottom left hand side of the windscreen or at the bottom of the ventilation window on the left hand side of the vehicle.
