the 'Register of Approved Vehicles' or is otherwise registrable, additional work will be necessary to complete the vehicle and put it into service (e.g. a 'Chassis-cab'). Depending on the vehicle design and the stage it is manufactured to, there may be some national road vehicle standards (or particular requirements of these standards) that do not apply, but will otherwise become applicable when the vehicle is completed.

   PASSENGER CAR SIDE MARKER LAMP - lamps on the side of a passenger vehicle, which may be mandatory in some countries, for improving the side conspicuity of the vehicle

   PEDAL EFFORT 31/00 - the force applied to the service brake 'Control'. The force may be measured by a force transducer located centrally on the brake pedal pad.

   PEDAL EFFORT 35/… - the force applied to any foot operated brake 'Control', measured in the direction of pedal movement.

   PELVIS REFERENCE LOCUS - the locus of a point fixed relative to the 'Seat', coincident with the 'Pelvis Reference Point' when the 'Seat' is in the rearmost design position and extending over the design or riding range of 'Seat' travel.

   PELVIS REFERENCE POINT - a point used in simulating the correct position of a lap 'Strap' or the lap 'Strap' of a 'Lap-Sash Belt'. It is the point which is located at a height of 95 mm above and 70 mm 'Forward' of the 'Seating Reference Point'.

   PERMANENT STRUCTURE - structure that cannot be readily removed within a short time using hand tools.

   PIG TRAILER -a trailer having one 'Axle Group' near the middle of the length of the goods-carrying surface.

   PLY - a layer of rubber-coated substantially parallel 'Cords' forming a tyre body.

   PLY SEPARATION - a parting of rubber compound between adjacent 'Plies'.

   PNEUMATIC TYRE - a mechanical device made of rubber, chemicals, fabric and steel or other materials, which when mounted on an automotive rim provides the traction and contains the gas or fluid that sustains the load.

   POINT OF ARTICULATION - any of the following:

       a) the vertical axis of a kingpin used with a 'Fifth Wheel Coupling';

       b) the vertical axis of rotation of a 'Fifth Wheel Coupling';

       c) the vertical axis of rotation of a 'Turntable';

       d) in relation to a 'Dog Trailer', the vertical axis of rotation of the front 'Axle Group' of the trailer;

       e) in relation to a 'Semi-trailer', the imaginary vertical line passing through the pivot point for a coupling fitted to the semitrailer.

   POLE-TYPE TRAILER - a trailer that:
   (i) is attached to the towing vehicle by means of a pole or by an attachment fitted to such pole; and
   (ii) is ordinarily used for transporting loads, such as logs, pipes or structural members or other
