The Road Traffic (Construction, Equipment and Use of Vehicles) Regulations 1963 are a set of regulations that govern the construction, equipment, and use of vehicles on roads in Ireland. These regulations are designed to ensure the safety of road users and to regulate the technical specifications of vehicles to minimise environmental impact and enhance road safety.
The regulations set out detailed requirements for the construction, equipment, and use of vehicles on Irish roads. They cover a wide range of topics, including vehicle dimensions, lighting, brakes, tires, and exhaust emissions. The regulations also specify the standards that vehicles must meet to be considered roadworthy.
Compliance with these regulations is essential for businesses involved in the manufacture, sale, maintenance, and operation of vehicles to ensure the safety of road users and the environmental impact of vehicles is minimised.
