By regulation 3 of these regulations, a new regulation 24 is added to the principal regulations, providing that the principal regulations shali apply to a public omnibus and to a public car only when the vehicle is being used for the carriage of passengers of separate and distinct fares in accordance with a right or licence sa to do granted under any enactment, in the result that the regulations do not apply when the vehick is hired as a whole.
