Section 19(1) of the Act introduces Schedule 5 which amends the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 ("the 1994 Act") to make provision in relation to vehicle excise duty and registered vehicles.

Article 3 provides that the offence in section 31A of the 1994 Act (being the registered keeper of an unlicensed vehicle) does not apply to a person registered as keeper of a vehicle on the date that section comes into force, if before that date he has sold, disposed of or permanently exported that vehicle or it has been stolen and not recovered.
