EXCISE licences for goods vehicles -LA can now be renewed at post offices even though ownership has changed during currency of the last licence. They may, however, no longer be renewed in this way if alteration to the vehicle has Dlaced,it in a different class, even though the duty remains the same.
Licence application and renewal forms have again been redrafted. When applying for a goods-vehicle licence on form RF4 it is now necessary to answer the following additional questions:—
(1) Is the vehicle a van (or a vehicle of a shooting brake or an estate wagon type) having side windows to the rear of the driver's seat?
(2) If so, were they fitted since you acquired possession of the vehicle or since June 1, 1956, whichever was the later?
When applying for renewal (RF1a) it is no longer necessary to specify the colour of the vehicle unless it has been altered since the fast declaration, but questions 1 and 2 above have also to be answered.
The details are given in the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations, 1957, which came into operation on May 1.
