explanation shall be taken down in writing.\r\n\r\nRegulation 13—Representation by Counsel or Superior Officer.\r\n\r\n(1) The defendant in any formal proceedings for his removal, dismissal or reduction in rank shall be entitled, if he so wishes, to be represented by counsel, or by a police officer not below the rank of Inspector Grade I.\r\n\r\n(2)  The defendant in any other formal proceedings may be permitted sure representation at the discretion of the disciplinary authority presiding over those proceedings.\r\n\r\n(3)  The prosecution in formal proceedings may be permitted

instituted against him, the Inspector-General may, if he considers that the interests of the Force require that the police officer concerned should cease forthwith to exercise the powers and functions of his office, interdict him from the exercise of those powers and functions.\r\n\r\n(2) A police officer shall not be interdicted unless the nature of the case renders it desirable that he should not remain on duty while the case is pending, and he cannot be posted to other duties without detriment to the interests of the Force.\r\n\r\n(3) Where a superior police office considers that any police officer under his command should be interdicted, he shall send a request for interdiction to the Inspector-General by the quickest possible means.\r\n\r\n(4) If the decision of the Inspector-General is unlikely to be obtained within a period of forty-eight hours, the senior superior police officer in the unit or branch concerned may order that a subordinate police officer under his command shall cease to exercise his powers and functions, and shall report forthwith to the inspector-General the fact that the order has been given and the reasons therefor.\r\n\r\n(5)  Where the Inspector-General receives a report under paragraph (4) he may—\r\n\r\n(a) approve the interdiction of the police officer concerned and notify him that he has been interdicted and that such interdiction shall date from the time the order was given under paragraph (4); or\r\n\r\n(b) decide not to exercise his powers to interdict and inform the parties concerned that the order is accordingly cancelled.\r\n\r\n(6) A police officer who is interdicted shall receive a salary equivalent to two-thirds of his gross salary plus the sum of any deductions made from his salary on Government account, or ¢500 per annum whichever is the greater:\r\n\r\nProvided that a police officer who is convicted of a criminal offence shall not receive any emoluments from the date of the judgment, pending the decision of the disciplinary authority empowered to dismiss  him.\r\n\r\n(7)  If the disciplinary proceedings do not result in the dismissal of the police officer concerned the whole of the salary withheld from him shall be restored to him when the final decision is made.\r\n\r\n(8) A police officer who is convicted of a criminal offence involving fraud, theft or dishonesty, or who is sentenced to imprisonment, shall be automatically interdicted from duty without salary as from the date of his conviction.\r\n\r\n(9)  A police officer interdicted from duty shall not leave Ghana without the permission of the Inspector-General.\r\n\r\nRegulation 15—Referring Cases to Higher Authority.\r\n\r\nWhen it appears to a superior police officer that there is a prima facie case that any police officer serving under his command, and for whose discipline he is responsible has committed misconduct and—\r\n\r\n(a)  the extent of his disciplinary authority does not permit him to deal with the offender; or \r\n\r\n(b)  the circumstances are such that if the case were proved the punishment which he could impose would in his opinion be inadequate.\r\n\r\nhe shall if the service is in a Region, report the facts of the case to the senior police officer in charge of the Region for action by the Regional Board, and otherwise he shall report direct to the Inspector-General for action by the Central Board.\r\n\r\nRegulation 16—Action of Regional Board in a Case Referred.\r\n\r\nWhen a Regional Board receives a report under the provisions of regulation 15, it may, after considering the facts of the case take action as follows:— \r\n\r\n(a)  if in the opinion of the Board the superior police officer who submitted the report has adequate disciplinary authority to deal with the case the Board shall instruct him to deal with it accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(b)  if in the opinion of the Board the case is one which any other superior police officer should deal with by summary proceedings, the Board shall fix a suitable time and date for such proceedings and notify the superior police officer concerned accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(c)  if, after causing such preliminary investigation to be made as the Board shall consider necessary, the Board is of opinion that the case should be dealt with by formal proceedings the Board shall formulate charges against the defendant and nominate an officer to hear the case; or\r\n\r\n(d) if the Board is satisfied that the punishment which it could impose would be inadequate, or that it has insufficient disciplinary authority to deal with the case, it shall report the facts to the Central Board which shall formulate charges against the defendant and nominate an officer to hear the case; or\r\n\r\n(e) the officer on completion of the enquiry shall submit the record of proceedings together with his findings and recommendations as to punishment to the Central Board.\r\n\r\nRegulation 17—Action of Central Board in a Case Referred. \r\n\r\nWhen the Central Board receives a report from a Regional Board under the provisions of regulation 16, or receives the report of a superior police officer from the Inspector-General under the  provisions of regulation 15, it shall after considering the facts of  the case, take action as follows:—\r\n\r\n(a) if the Central Board is of opinion that the case is one which the Regional Board or superior police officer concerned has adequate disciplinary authority to deal with, it shall instruct the Regional Board or superior police officer to deal with the case accordingly; or \r\n\r\n(b)  if the Central Board is of opinion that the case is one which it should deal with by summary proceedings it shall fix a suitable date and time for such proceedings and notify the Regional Board or superior police officer concerned accordingly; or\r\n\r\n(c) if, after causing such preliminary investigation to be made as the Board shall consider necessary, the Board is of opinion that the case should be dealt with by formal proceedings the Board shall formulate charges against the defendant and proceed to hear the case.\r\n\r\nRegulation 18—Procedure for Imposition of  Penalties.\r\n\r\n(1) Where a Board or superior police officer has completed the hearing of proceedings, that disciplinary authority may impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate.\r\n\r\n(2) If after completing a hearing a Regional Board forms the view that the maximum penalty which it can impose is inadequate, it shall send the findings and other relevant documents to the Central Board which shall thereupon impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate. \r\n\r\n(3) If after completing a hearing a superior police officer forms the view that the maximum penalty which he can impose is inadequate, he shall send the findings and other relevant documents to the Regional Board which shall thereupon impose such penalty within its powers as it considers adequate.\r\n\r\nRegulation 19—Absence from Duty.\r\n\r\nNotwithstanding the provisions of regulation 9, where a police officer is absent from duty without leave or reasonable cause, and cannot be traced within a reasonable time, or if traced continues to absent himself, disciplinary proceedings against him may be conducted and the appropriate disciplinary authority may impose such penalty within its powers as it thinks fit upon him, notwithstanding that he does not attend such proceedings, or that he cannot be notified.\r\n\r\nRegulation 20—Removal for Unsatisfactory Service.\r\n\r\n(1)  Where the Inspector-General considers it necessary to institute proceedings against a police officer for his removal from the Force or reduction in rank on the ground of unsatisfactory service, the Inspector-General shall direct a Regional Board or the Central Board or a superior police officer to inquire into the matter in such manner as the Board or the superior police officer thinks proper by way of formal proceedings.\r\n\r\n(2)  The Board or superior police officer so directed shall allow the police officer concerned an opportunity to show cause why he should not be removed from the Force or otherwise dealt with, for unsatisfactory service.\r\n\r\n(3)  On the conclusion of its inquiry, the Board or the superior police officer shall take action as follows:—\r\n\r\n(a) if the Board or the  superior police officer, on completion of the inquiry, considers that the allegation of unsatisfactory service has not been substantiated the Board or the superior police officer shall record that finding and forward the record of proceedings together with any comments to the Inspector-General who may either accept that finding or substitute a finding of his own, or\r\n\r\n(b) if the Board or the superior police officer finds that the police officer concerned should be removed from the Force or reduced in rank on the ground of unsatisfactory service, the Board or the superior police officer shall forward the proceedings with any such recommendation to the Inspector-General for the imposition of such penalty; or\r\n\r\n(c) if the Board or the superior police officer finds that the allegation of unsatisfactory service has been substantiated but that the circumstances are not sufficiently serious to require the removal or reduction in rank of the police officer concerned, the Board or the superior police officer shall make such recommendation as is considered appropriate and forward the proceedings together with the recommendations to the Inspector- General for any action he may wish to take.\r\n\r\nRegulation 21—Institution of Criminal Proceedings.\r\n\r\nThe procedure for the institution of criminal proceedings against a member of the Force shall be as laid down in Police Force Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 22—Action on Conviction in Criminal Proceedings.\r\n\r\n(1)  Where a member of the Force is convicted of a criminal charge in any Court, the facts shall be reported to the Inspector-General who, if satisfied that the conviction has brought such a degree of disrepute on the Force as to warrant the dismissal or removal of the person so convicted, shall refer the matter to the appropriate disciplinary authority for the imposition of such penalty as the disciplinary authority may think fit.\r\n\r\n(2) The procedure for reporting cases and the method of dealing with such cases shall be as laid down in Police Force Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 23—Appeals.\r\n\r\n(1) Where a penalty is imposed on a

penalty is imposed on a police officer below the rank of Inspector he may appeal to the Inspector-General of Police against the decision, and the penalty shall thereupon take effect until the appeal

concerned.\r\n\r\n(4) An appeal shall be sent to the Police Council or Inspector-General of Police through the disciplinary authority who made the decision which is the subject of the appeal. The disciplinary authority shall attach to the appeal a copy of the record of the proceedings, the finding of the inquiry or investigation and all other relevant documents.\r\n\r\n(5) When a police officer is notified of a penalty imposed on him in disciplinary proceedings, he shall be informed that an appeal may be lodged with the Police Council or, as the case may be, with the Inspector-General of Police, within six weeks of such notification\r\n\r\n(6) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police on hearing an appeal under these Regulations may substitute a finding of their own for any finding appealed against and may allow or dismiss the appeal and shall have power to reduce, cancel, increase or alter any penalty imposed.\r\n\r\n(7) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police when considering an appeal under these Regulations may, after consultation with the Central Board, annul any proceedings brought under these Regulations whether or not those proceedings are completed.\r\n\r\n(8) The Police Council or Inspector-General of Police when considering an appeal under these Regulations may before taking any action refer the proceedings back to the relevant Board or superior police officer for such further investigation and report as the Police Council or Inspector-General of Police may direct.\r\n\r\nPART III—GENERAL\r\n\r\nRegulation 24—Revocation.\r\n\r\nThe Police Service (Disciplinary Proceedings) Regulations, 1971 (L.I. 688) are hereby revoked.\r\n\r\nJ.H.

Service ranks are based on the Police Service posts to which they are applicable.\r\n\r\n(2) Where a Police Service post is not designated by a rank, the rank of the holder shall be determined by the Inspector-General, taking into account the salary scale of such post.\r\n\r\nRegulation 4—Badges of Rank. \r\n\r\nThe badges of rank specified in the Third Schedule shall be worn. \r\n\r\nRegulation 5—Supernumerary Police. \r\n\r\n(1) Subject to the approval of the Commissioner and where financial provision has been authorised by the Government, suitable persons may be enlisted in the Police Service as supernumerary police officers for specified periods and purposes.\r\n\r\n(2) The qualifications for appointment, mode of enlistment and conditions of service for such police officers shall be laid down by the Inspector-General in Police Service Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 6—Special Constables. \r\n\r\n(1) Whenever it appears to the appointing authority that any riot or felony has taken place or may reasonably be apprehended in any place and that the normal establishment of the Service is not sufficient to maintain good order and to protect life and property in the area concerned, he may by writing in the form specified in the Fourth Schedule appoint any person residing in that area to act as a special constable in the Police Service within that area for such time as he considers necessary.\r\n\r\n(2) On appointment, a special constable shall take the Police Service Oath.\r\n\r\n(3) Whenever a special constable is called out or employed on active duty he shall be paid for his loss of time, and expense, such sum as the Inspector-General may deem sufficient out of funds provided by the Government.\r\n\r\nPART II—CONDITIONS OF SERVICE\r\n\r\nRegulation 7—Police

be four including the Chairman.\r\n\r\nRegulation 9—Secretary of the Board. \r\n\r\nThe Staff Officer of the Police Service shall act as the Secretary of the Board.\r\n\r\nRegulation 10—Seniority. \r\n\r\n(1) Seniority between police officers holding posts with the same salary conditions shall be determined according to their respective seniority dates, or if those are the same, according to their previous seniority.\r\n\r\n(2) Seniority between police officers holding posts with different salary conditions shall be determined according to the salary conditions of the respective posts:\r\n\r\nProvided that—\r\n\r\n(a) any superior police officer shall enjoy automatic seniority over any subordinate police officer; and\r\n\r\n(b) any Chief Inspector or Inspector shall enjoy automatic seniority over any Regional or District Sergeant Major.\r\n\r\n(3) If any question arises as to the seniority of a police officer or the relative seniority of a number of police officers it

being treated as having no previous seniority except that, as between two or more such persons, previous seniority shall be assessed—\r\n\r\n(a) in the case of a constable on first appointment according to merit—grading on the completion of a recruit''s course; and\r\n\r\n(b) in other cases by the appointing authority taking into account age, qualifications and such other matter as the appointing authority may think fit;\r\n\r\n“salary conditions”, in relation to a post, means the salary attached to the post or, where a salary scale is attached to the post, means the highest point on the scale; and\r\n\r\n“seniority date”, in relation to a police officer, means  the date on which he entered his current post or, if  he has suffered loss of seniority while holding that post, means the date on which he is deemed to have entered the post.\r\n\r\nRegulation 11—Salary. \r\n\r\n(1) The salary payable to a police officer shall be the salary authorised for the post.\r\n\r\n(2)

reasons.\r\n\r\n(3) When the holder of a post is  promoted to a post with a higher salary scale, he shall enter the scale of his new post at the minimum point of entry or on such a higher point as the appointing authority may determine.\r\n\r\n(4) Upon the appointment to a Service post of a candidate from any other Public Service or one who possesses a recognised degree or professional

additional twelve months.\r\n\r\n(3) The holder of a post shall not be entitled to an increment as of right but only by sanction of the Inspector-General of Police.\r\n\r\n(4) The procedure governing the award of increments shall be as laid down in Police Service Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 13—Withholding of Increment. \r\n\r\n(1) If the Inspector-General of Police is satisfied after receiving the views of the Central Board that an annual increment in salary of a police officer should be withheld on the grounds of unsatisfactory service during the previous year not amounting to misconduct, he shall withhold the increment.\r\n\r\n(2) If the Inspector-General of Police is satisfied after receiving the views of the Central Board that an annual increment which has been withheld should be restored, he shall restore the increment.\r\n\r\n(3) On restoration, the increment withheld shall be treated as stopped which means that the officer suffers the loss of the increment for the period between withholding and restoration but gains his previous incremental status and incremental date.\r\n\r\nRegulation 14—Payments of Allowances. \r\n\r\n(1) In certain branches of the Service the personnel employed, by nature of the special duties which they perform or the special skills or trades in which they have become proficient, shall be entitled to allowances in addition to their normal salaries.\r\n\r\n(2) Allowances shall also be paid as compensation to members of the Service who have to provide themselves with clothing or quarters which they are entitled to have provided free of charge.\r\n\r\n(3) No allowances shall be granted without the approval of the Inspector-General.\r\n\r\n(4) The allowances payable to members of the Service shall be as laid down in Police Service

grant of leave to a member of the Service shall be the Inspector-General of Police.\r\n\r\nRegulation 17—Free Quarters. \r\n\r\nAll subordinate police officers other than recruits shall be entitled to

Instructions.\r\n\r\nRegulation 18—Free Medical Attention. \r\n\r\nAll members of the Service shall be entitled to free medical attention for themselves and their families, except that where there is a fixed charge in respect of any special medical facility or hospitalization, such charge shall be met by the member of the Service concerned.\r\n\r\nRegulation 19—Complaints and Petitions.

and Equipment. \r\n\r\n(1) All ranks of the Service on appointment shall be supplied with free issue of clothing and equipment on the appropriate scale laid down in Police Service Instructions.\r\n\r\n(2) No unauthorised article of clothing or equipment shall be worn or carried on duty by an officer when in uniform.\r\n\r\n(3) The regulation of all matters relating to uniform,

are made this 10th day of July, 1974.\r\n\r\nPART I—REGISTRATION\r\n\r\nRegulation 1—Register.\r\n\r\nThe licensing authority shall keep a register for the registration of motor vehicles and trailers in such form as the Commissioner may direct.\r\n\r\nRegulation 2—Application to Register.\r\n\r\n(1) A person who applies to register a motor vehicle or trailer shall give to the licensing authority an application, in duplicate, duly completed as in form A or B in the First Schedule.\r\n\r\n(2) A fee of ¢50.00 shall be paid to the licensing authority before the vehicle is first registered:\r\n\r\nProvided that no fee shall be paid in respect of a vehicle intended to be used to carry passengers or goods for hire or reward other than a taxi.\r\n\r\nRegulation 3—Verification of Weights.\r\n\r\n(1) Before a vehicle is registered, its net weight and, if the licensing authority so directs, the axle weight of each axle shall, if facilities for weighing the vehicle are available, be ascertained by a competent officer, who shall certify the weights so ascertained and make any necessary correction in the statement of weights declared by the owner.\r\n\r\n(2) If facilities for weighing a vehicle are not available the licensing authority may require the owner of the vehicle to produce a certificate of its weight issued by the manufacturer or other recognised authority.\r\n\r\nRegulation 4—Registration.\r\n\r\n(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, on receipt of the application and fee the licensing authority shall register the particulars of the vehicle.\r\n\r\n(2) The licensing authority shall not register a vehicle—\r\n\r\n(a) which does not comply in all respects with the provisions of these Regulations applicable to its particular type or class;\r\n\r\n(b) whose use on any road without the authorisation of the Director of Public Works or any other authority is prohibited, unless such authorisation is produced to him;\r\n\r\n(c) in respect of which a valid certificate of roadworthiness is not produced to him.\r\n\r\n(3) The licensing authority shall not, without the prior consent of the Commissioner for Finance, register—\r\n\r\n(a) any vehicle more than two years old which has been imported for commercial purposes;\r\n\r\n(b) any vehicle more than five years old.\r\n\r\n(4) the licensing authority shall not register a right-hand steering vehicle.\r\n\r\n(5) In the case of a commercial vehicle or trailer the licensing authority may, if he thinks fit, require the production of the manufacturer’s specification or such other evidence as he may require to enable him to ascertain that the freight or load which the vehicle is constructed to carry is as stated in the form of application and in the case of a vehicle with locally constructed body, may determine the freight or load which the vehicle is constructed to carry:\r\n\r\nProvided that commercial vehicles used exclusively for carrying the personal effects of the owner, tractors or breakdown lorries shall not be regarded as load carrying vehicles and shall be licensed according to their net weights as if such weights were their gross weight.\r\n\r\nRegulation 5—Number Plates.\r\n\r\n(1) On registering a motor vehicle or trailer the licensing authority shall assign to it an identification mark which shall be registered in respect of the vehicle.\r\n\r\n(2) The identification mark shall be a combination of letters and figures allocated to the licensing authority by the Principal Licensing Authority.\r\n\r\n(3) Where an applicant requests that a particular identification  mark be assigned to a vehicle, the licensing authority shall, subject to the approval of the Principal Licensing Authority and subject to these Regulations, assign such identification mark on payment by the applicant of a fee of ¢50.00.\r\n\r\n(4) The identification mark shall be carried by the motor vehicle on two plates which shall conform to the requirements of the Second Schedule.\r\n\r\n(5) Every such plate must be reflective and so made that any letters, numerals or other identifying mark displayed on it are legible at night in clear weather, when the motor vehicle is stationary, at a distance of 65 feet from the front or the rear of the vehicle, as the case may be.\r\n\r\n(6) The plates displaying the identification mark shall be fixed on a motor vehicle, one on the front and the other on the back, and on a trailer, one on the back, so that every letter or figure on the plate is upright and easily distinguishable in the case of the front plate in front, and in the case of the back plate from behind.\r\n\r\n(7) When a vehicle is towing a trailer, an additional plate displaying the identification mark of the towing vehicle shall be fixed on the back of the trailer in addition to the plate displaying the identification mark of the trailer.\r\n\r\n(8) In the case of a motor-cycle the plate fixed on the front of the cycle may, if it is a plate having duplicate faces conforming with the Second Schedule, be fixed so that from whichever side the cycle is viewed the letters or figures on one or other face of the plate are easily distinguishable though they may not be distinguishable from the front of the cycle.\r\n\r\nRegulation 6—Change of Ownership. \r\n\r\n(1) If the ownership of a motor vehicle or trailer is changed, the new owner shall give notice of the change to the licensing authority as in Form C in the First Schedule, and shall present the vehicle for inspection to the licensing authority.\r\n\r\n(2) Notice of change of ownership shall be given not later than fourteen days after the date of the actual change of ownership but may be received before the date of the actual change of ownership, to take effect from that date.\r\n\r\n(3) No change of ownership shall be registered until the licensing authority has physically checked the chassis number and the engine number on the motor vehicle and ascertained that they correspond with his records.\r\n\r\n(4) When the ownership of a licensed vehicle is changed, the old owner shall, if a taxi, omnibus or passenger lorry licence has been issued in respect of the vehicle, transfer it to the new owner who shall present the licence to the licensing authority together with such other evidence of the change of ownership as the licensing officer may require, and the licensing authority shall substitute the name of the new owner for that of the person named in the licence as the owner.\r\n\r\n(5) If the new owner fails to comply with this regulation the registration of the vehicle shall be void.\r\n\r\n(6) Where the new owner is the Government the licensing authority shall inform the Principal Licensing Authority in writing of such change.\r\n\r\n(7) Except where the new owner is the Government, the new owner shall pay for the registration of the change of ownership\r\n\r\n(a) in the case of motor-cycles and scooters, ¢40.00; and\r\n\r\n(b) in the case of other vehicles, ¢40.00.\r\n\r\n(8) On registration of a change of ownership the existing registration of the motor vehicle or trailer shall continue in the name of the new owner.\r\n\r\nRegulation 7—Procedure Where Vehicle Destroyed.\r\n\r\nIf the licensing authority is satisfied that a registered vehicle has been destroyed, broken up or permanently removed from Ghana, he shall cancel the entries in the register in respect of the vehicle and inform the Principal Licensing Authority\r\n\r\nRegulation 8—Amendment of Register.\r\n\r\nIf any circumstance (other than a change of ownership) occurs in relation to a vehicle which affects the accuracy of any particulars entered in respect of that vehicle in the register, the owner of the vehicle shall forthwith, in writing, inform the licensing authority with whom it has been registered and such authority shall there upon, without charging any fee, amend the register accordingly and inform the Principal Licensing Authority.\r\n\r\nRegulation 9—Copies of Entries.\r\n\r\n(1) The licensing authority shall, if so required by the Principal Licensing Authority, supply to him a copy from the register of any particular required and shall on application being made to him by any other licensing authority or by any police officer not below the rank of sergeant provide, free of charge, a copy of any particulars required from his register relating to any specified vehicle.\r\n\r\n(2) The licensing authority shall also supply to any other person applying for a copy of the entries relating to any specified vehicle, a copy of those entries on payment of a fee of thirty pesewas.\r\n\r\n(3) Any public officer may, in his official capacity, without charge, at all reasonable times inspect the register and take copies of any entries in it.\r\n\r\n(4) The Principal Licensing Authority shall file and keep all copies of such entries and copies of licences and other documents supplied to him under section 3 (2) of the Ordinance or this regulation, and shall on request by any licensing authority or police officer not below the rank of sergeant, supply such particulars in relation thereto as may be required of him.\r\n\r\nPART II—LICENSING\r\n\r\nRegulation 10—Registers of Licences.\r\n\r\n(1) The licensing officer shall keep registers of licences and renewals of licences in such form as the Commissioner may direct.\r\n\r\n(2) A licensing authority shall, on application being made to him by any other licensing authority or by any police officer of or above the rank of sergeant, forthwith provide free of charge a copy of the particulars in his register relating to any licence granted by him.\r\n\r\nRegulation 11—Trade Licences.\r\n\r\n(1) The licensing authority may issue a trade licence to a dealer or fleet owner in respect of any type of motor vehicle at an annual fee of ¢50.00 for each such licence.\r\n\r\n(2) A trade licence shall not be issued for use in respect of a particular vehicle but in respect of any motor vehicle in the following circumstances:—\r\n\r\n(a) when a motor vehicle having been off-loaded from a ship, lighter, railway

has been repaired is in process of delivery by the dealer or to the fleet owner concerned.\r\n\r\n(3) A trade licence shall be issued in Form D in the First Schedule and shall authorise the use of a single trade identification mark consisting of the letter D followed by the identification letters (of a series distinct from that in use for registered vehicles) and identification numerals assigned by the licensing authority.\r\n\r\n(4) On the issue of a trade licence the licensing authority shall enter the particulars thereof in a register kept for that purpose.\r\n\r\n(5) A dealer or fleet owner may apply for and obtain any number of trade licences.\r\n\r\n(6) A person to whom a licence has been refused may appeal to the Commissioner.\r\n\r\n(7) Such licences shall not authorise the carrying of passengers or goods for hire or reward or any passengers not engaged in testing the vehicle or inspecting the vehicle with a view to purchasing it.\r\n\r\n(8) Where a vehicle is being used under a trade licence such licence shall be displayed on the front plate bearing the trade identification mark issued in respect of such licence.\r\n\r\n(9) No person shall—\r\n\r\n(a) use a trade

licence produced for renewal is dilapidated but still legible or contains no further room for renewals or endorsements the licensing authority shall cancel it and grant a new licence as a renewal thereof indicating thereon that it is a renewal of a previous licence and quoting the number and date of issue of the original licence and shall endorse on any such licence the particulars of any conviction or order endorsed on the expired licence which relates to any driving offence within the preceding two years.\r\n\r\n(6) Regulations 14 and 16 shall apply to the issue of a new licence under paragraph (5) of this regulation.\r\n\r\nRegulation 18—L Plates.\r\n\r\nWhenever a person learning to drive is driving a vehicle there shall be affixed to the vehicle so as to be easily visible

procedure shall be followed:—\r\n\r\n(a) the applicant shall submit to the licensing authority an application for a duplicate licence as in Form M in the First Schedule which, in the case of a professional driver’s licence, shall be accompanied by an impression of the finger-prints of the applicant;\r\n\r\n(b) the licensing authority shall forward a request for particulars of the original licence to the Principal Licensing Authority in such form as such authority may require, accompanied by the finger-print impressions of the applicant;\r\n\r\n(c) on receipt of such particulars the licensing authority shall, if the applicant has not been disqualified from holding a licence or has not had his licence revoked, issue a duplicate licence as if it were a new licence quoting thereon the number and date of the original licence and endorsing thereon the particulars of any conviction or order endorsed on the original licence which relates to any driving offence within the preceding

holder such holder may and, if required by the licensing authority, shall supply a further copy of such photograph or two copies of a different photograph of himself which shall be dealt with as follows:—\r\n\r\n(a) if a further copy of the defaced photograph is supplied, it shall be used to replace the original and shall be stamped in the same manner as the original was stamped;\r\n\r\n(b) if two copies of a different photograph are supplied one copy shall be used to replace the defaced photograph and stamped as above-mentioned and the other copy shall, accompanied by such particulars

any braking system shall not even under the most adverse conditions prevent the brakes on two wheels or, in the case of a vehicle having less than four wheels, on one wheel, from operating effectively, so as either to hold such wheels from revolving or to have the same effect in stopping the motor vehicle as if such wheels were so held:\r\n\r\nProvided that in the case of a single system the two means of operation shall not be deemed to be otherwise than independent solely by reason of the fact that they are connected either directly or indirectly with the same cross shaft.\r\n\r\n(2) Where a motor vehicle has more than three wheels and two independent braking systems each such system shall be so constructed, designed and maintained that if it acts (either directly or indirectly) on two wheels only it shall act on two wheels on the same axle.\r\n\r\n(3) Where in the case of a single braking system the means of operation are connected either directly or indirectly with the same cross shaft, the brakes applied by one of such means shall act on all the wheels of the motor vehicle directly and not through the transmission gear.\r\n\r\n(4) In all cases the brakes operated by one of the means of operation shall be applied by direct mechanical action without the intervention of any hydraulic, electric or pneumatic device.\r\n\r\n(5) In all cases the
