conditions set out in paragraphs (a) and (b), have a mudguard or
mudguards for all the wheels on the foremost axle of the vehicle firmly fitted
to it; and each mudguard shall be so constructed and fitted

(b) in
the case of a motor vehicle, other than a motor cycle, it is capable, either

(2) The provisions of
this regulation do not apply to a vehicle of which the construction or use is
such, that, in the opinion of the Director General, it is unnecessary or
impracticable to provide a mudguard or mudguards.
