    (1)     The road transport authority may designate a card issued to an authorised person under a corresponding heavy vehicle road law by a corresponding road transport authority as an identity card for this Act.

Note 1     A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see Legislation Act, s 104).

Note 2     Identity cards for this Act are issued under the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 , s 20.

    (2)     However, the road transport authority must not designate an authorised person's card under subsection (1) unless the card—

        (a)     identifies the person as an authorised person (however described) under a corresponding heavy vehicle road law; and

        (b)     shows the things mentioned in the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 , section 20 (1) (a) and (b) (Identity cards).

    (3)     The designation of a card is a notifiable instrument.

Note     A notifiable instrument must be notified under the Legislation Act.

    (4)     To remove any doubt, a designated card for an authorised person is taken to be an identity card for the Road Transport (General) Act 1999 , section 21 (Power not to be exercised before identity card shown) in relation to an exercise of a power under this Act.
