These regulations were laid before Parliament yesterday and come into operation on 1 October. They amend regulations that date back to 1986 (S.I. 1986/183), and give power to constables to deal with vehicles which have been broken down or abandoned. As originally made, the 1986 regulations apply to vehicles broken down on roads, and to vehicles unlawfully abandoned on a road or "on any land in the open air". The amendment will extend the powers to cover any other land, too.
