Installation of equipment – generally
16 Installation of equipment – generally
If equipment is installed in a vehicle to which this Act applies, the equipment must – not affect the compliance of the vehicle with the Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999 or any regulations made under that Act; and not interfere with any other equipment required to be installed or used in the vehicle; and not cause injury to an occupant of the vehicle; and not be installed in a place, or used in such a way as is likely to annoy an occupant of the vehicle; and if the controls of the equipment are to be operated by the driver of the vehicle, be accessible to the driver while the driver is seated in the normal driving position.
Any vehicle used, or intended for use, to provide an on-demand passenger transport service may be fitted with a security camera system, but, if so fitted, the system must comply with regulation 17(2)(c) as if the vehicle were a taxi required to be fitted with a security camera system.
