The Island's hauliers are being reminded they've got just two months left to register for free with the government.

The Road Transport Regulations 2018 came into force this year, and mean operators with vehicles weighing more than 3.5 metric tonnes will need a special licence.

Registration is free for applications submitted before February 1 next year - unregistered operators could face court after that date.

Application forms are available on the Road Transport Licensing Committee website gov.im/rtlc
