THE RIGHT HONOURABLE J. G. COATES, P.C., PRESIDING IN

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred on him by the Public Works Amendment
Act, 1924, and the Motor-vehicles Act, 1924, and of every
other power and authority in anyway enabling him in that
behalf, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion
of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby
make the following regulations by way of amendment to the
Motor-lorry Regulations, 1925.
REGULATIONS.

1. THESE regulations may be cited as “the Motor-lorry
   Regulations Amendment, No. 2.”
2. In these regulations “the said regulations” means the
   Motor-lorry Regulations, 1925.
3. These regulations shall come into force on the first day
   of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six.
4. Clause (1) of Regulation 1 of the said regulations is
   hereby amended by revoking the definition of “six-wheeler”
   therein contained, and by adding thereto the following
   provisions:—
   “Six-wheeled motor-lorry” means a motor-lorry as defined
   by the Motor-lorry Regulations Amendment No. 1
   which is specially designed so that the weight of the
   load is distributed between the middle and rear pair
   of wheels, or a four-wheeled motor-lorry as defined by
   the said Amendment No. 1 adapted to secure the
   better distribution of the load by means of a combina-
   tion body and trailer with two wheels added.
5. Clause (1) of Regulation 1 of the said regulations is
   hereby further amended by revoking the definition of “width”
   therein contained, and substituting the following definitions:—
   “Width” of a tire in any case in which such tire is
   pneumatic or is otherwise made wholly or principally
   of a soft or elastic material such as rubber and is held
   in a metal rim (whether the rim be detachable or part
   of the wheel) means the distance measured across
   the tire, parallel to the axis of the wheel at the place
   nearest the top of the metal rim where the tire makes
   contact with the rim:
   “Width” of a tire in any case in which such tire is made
   wholly or principally of a soft or elastic material such
   as rubber and is immovably affixed to a metallic base
   means the greatest distance that can be measured
   across the tire parallel to the axis of the wheel,
   exclusive of the distance (if any) along that line where
   the soft or elastic material, when measured vertically
   towards the metallic base, is less than one-quarter of
   an inch in thickness:
   “Width” in relation to a metal tire means the distance
   measured in the shortest straight line across the
   running-surface of the tire that actually makes con-
   tact with the roadway.
6. Clause (3) of Regulation 1 of the said regulations is
   hereby revoked.
7. Regulation 2 of the said regulations is hereby amended
   by adding thereto the following class:—
   “Class Q. Any six-wheeled motor-lorry which with the
   maximum load it is licensed to carry
   exceeds in weight 10 tons, but does not
   exceed in weight 15 tons.”
8. Clause (1) of Regulation 3 of the said regulations is
   hereby amended by inserting after the words “any motor-
   lorry” the words “not being a six-wheeled motor-lorry.”
9. Regulation 3 of the said regulations is hereby further
   amended by revoking clause (4) thereof.
10. Regulation 3 of the said regulations is hereby further
    amended by inserting after clause (3) thereof the following
    additional clause:—
    “(4.) No person shall operate any six-wheeled motor-lorry
    if the weight of its load exceeds 9 tons or if the combined
    weight of the vehicle and load exceeds 15 tons.
11. Regulation 4 of the said regulations is hereby amended
    by adding thereto the following additional clauses:—
    “(6.) The tire of each wheel of a motor-lorry, if such tire
    is not of a soft or elastic material, shall be smooth, and shall,
    where the tire touches the surface of the road or other base
    whereon the motor-lorry moves or rests, be flat:
