11   Procedure for making emergency rules




   11. Procedure for making emergency rules---(1) Before making an
 emergency rule, the Director shall consult with such persons,
 representative groups within the land transport sector or elsewhere,
 Government departments, and Crown agencies as the Director in each case
 considers appropriate.

   (2) Subject to subsection (4) of this section, every emergency rule
 shall be notified in the Gazette and be made available by the Director
 for purchase by members of the public at a reasonable price, and the
 notification shall specify a place where the rule is available for
 inspection free of charge and for purchase.

   (3) Every emergency rule shall come into force immediately upon its
 being notified in the Gazette, or, where notified by service on any
 person under subsection (4) of this section, immediately upon service of
 notification upon that person and in respect of that person only.

   (4) Where for reasons of safety it is impracticable or inappropriate
 to notify an emergency rule under this section, the Director shall
 notify such persons as he or she considers appropriate or necessary in
 the circumstances and service of such notification may be effected by
 facsimile, telephone, or such other manner as the Director considers
 appropriate or necessary in the circumstances.

   (5) An emergency rule may be in force for a period not exceeding 90
 days, and may be renewed once only for a further period not exceeding 30
 days.

   (6) So far as any emergency rule is inconsistent with or repugnant to
 any ordinary rule made under this Act, the emergency rule shall prevail.
