IMI Award in Light Road Vehicle Examination and Prohibition.
Perhaps for legacy reasons we often get asked about the status of this module. Below are the answers to some of the more often asked questions.
We sometimes get asked whether a police student who completes the module is an "authorised vehicle examiner".
The answer is that an authorised examiner is someone who is authorised by their Chief Officer under Regulation 67(4)E of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and only those authorised persons may test a vehicle on a road to;
(i) ensure that the construction and use requirements, and
(ii) the requirement that the condition of the vehicle is not such that its use on a road would involve a danger of injury to any person,
are complied with in respect of the vehicle.
Note that under Regulation 67(10) a "test" includes "inspecting" the vehicle at the scene thus all collision investigators working on criminal investigations should be so authorised if they are taking tyre pressures, inspecting seatbelt etc.
