Consultations that CIHT is currently considering:
Department for Transport
Electronic Personal Vehicle Consultation
There are many electric personal vehicles (EPVs). Those which do not comply with road vehicle law requirements may only be used, at present, on private land (with landowner permission). They may not lawfully be used on our roads, on cycle tracks or on pedestrian footways and footpaths.
This consultation seeks your views on whether Department for Transport should explore changing the law to allow such vehicles to use public roads and cycle tracks. This consultation does not propose permitting such vehicles to use dedicated pedestrian areas such as footways and footpaths.
Closing Date: 30 March 2010
