The dictionary at the end of these regulations is part of these regulations.
Note 1 The dictionary at the end of these regulations defines certain words and expressions used in these regulations, and includes references ( signpost definitions ) to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in these regulations or elsewhere in the road transport legislation.
For example, the signpost definition ‘ public vehicle licence —see the Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Act 1999 , dictionary' means that the expression ‘public vehicle licence' is defined in the dictionary to that Act. The definition applies to these regulations.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire regulations unless the definition, or another provision of the regulations, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Interpretation Act 1967 , s 11F and s 11G as applied by the Subordinate Laws Act 1989 , s 9).
