  1. PARTICULARS TO BE FURNISHED BY MOTOR-LORRY OWNERS.

(1) The owner of every motor-lorry shall enter or cause to be entered up daily and furnished to the licensing authority at such intervals as such licensing authority shall think fit, full particulars as to the use of any such motor-lorry, including approximate distances traversed and the names of the controlling authorities in the area or areas in which such motor-lorry operates. Such particulars shall be furnished generally in accordance with Form D in the Schedule hereto. For the purpose of the supply of such particulars the controlling authorities (other than the Minister and the Main Highways Board) shall assist motor-lorry owners so far as is reasonable by the erection of boundary indicators on their roads, or by supplying maps, or by other suitable aids; but the failure of a controlling authority so to do shall be no defence to proceedings against the owner of a motor-lorry for a breach of the provisions hereinbefore contained.
(2) The operation of this regulation may be suspended in any heavy-traffic district if by resolution each of the controlling authorities in such district (other than the Minister and the Main Highways Board) agrees to such suspension.

  1. APPLICATION OF REGULATIONS.

These regulations shall apply generally throughout New Zealand, except the parts thereof not included in any of the heavy-traffic districts defined by Regulation No. 13 hereof.
