OODS vehicles not exceeding 2 tons unladen and passenger vehicles carrying not more than seven passengers may be allowed to park without lights or with parking lights after June 5 in certain roads outside London at the discretion of chief constables. Such parking has been permitted in London since September, 1955, and the conditions for allowing it in the provinces will be the same as for the capital.
Vehicles will not be exempted from full lighting requirements when carrying an overhanging or projecting load on which in extra or substituted light is already required by law, or when a trailer is attached.
The rules extending the concession are the Road Vehicles Lighting (Standing Vehicles) (Exemption) (General) Regulations, 1956.

The driver said that he had no control over loading. The chairman thought that the cause of such offences lay with the N.C.B. He could not understand why the police did not take proceedings against them.

Nationalized industries, he added, must play their part in stabilizing prices.
