ACommunity Authorisation is required for hire or reward transport to, from or through another EC member state. A certified true copy of the authorisation must be carried on a vehicle and produced when required by police or a vehicle examiner.
A goods vehicle on hire or reward or own-account transport to or from Austria requires a journey permit. A VI enforcement officer (not police) can require the driver to produce the permit for inspection. Vehicle examiners have strong prohibition powers, under the Road Traffic (Foreign Vehicles) Act 1972, in relation to vehicles, not registered in the United Kingdom and which are brought into Great Britain from a base abroad. Vehicles can be prohibited for contraventions of C&U Regulations; drivers hours' and tachograph regulations; operators' licensing provisions; and obstructing an examiner.
