(2) Any mileage-recorder fitted to a declared vehicle may be inspected from time to time by officers authorized for the purpose by the Commissioner of Transport and, so far as may be necessary for such purpose, the said officers shall have the powers of an Inspector under section 42 of the Transport Licensing Act, 1931.

6. For any complete calendar month during which a declared vehicle is not used on a public highway the owner shall make the declaration as prescribed by the said section, but showing that the vehicle has not been used on a public highway during such month.

7. (1) Every Deputy Registrar shall keep at his office a record of the declarations and payments sent, made, or delivered to him in respect of declared vehicles, and shall notify to the Registrar promptly the particulars concerning all such declarations or payments.

(2) The Registrar shall keep at his office a register of the declared vehicles concerning which notifications have been sent to him in terms of subsection (6) of the said section, and a general register of the declarations and payments made in respect of such vehicles.

8. Every person who—
   (a) Fails to comply with any condition, duty, or obligation imposed by the said section and for which no penalty is therein provided; or
   (b) Offends against or fails to comply with or commits a breach of any of these regulations,—
   shall be liable for every such breach to a fine not exceeding £10.
