The registered operator of a registered motor vehicle (other than a motorbike or motortrike) may apply to the road transport authority for the issue of a bicycle rack numberplate for the vehicle in addition to the vehicle numberplates issued for the vehicle.

If the registered operator applies under subsection (1), the road transport authority may issue a bicycle rack numberplate with the same number as the vehicle’s registration number to the registered operator.

For this regulation—

a bicycle rack numberplate issued to the registered operator of a motor vehicle is taken to be issued for use for that vehicle; and

a bicycle rack numberplate displayed, under this regulation, on a bicycle rack on a motor vehicle is taken to be attached to the vehicle; and

in deciding whether a bicycle rack numberplate has the same number as the registration number of a motor vehicle only the registration number given to the vehicle is to be considered, and any additional material on any vehicle numberplate of the vehicle, or on the bicycle rack numberplate, is to be disregarded.
