(2) if he will ensure that no technical examinations are carried out by police motor vehicle examiners and Department of Health and Social Security technical officers of invalid tricycles involved in accidents resulting in injury or death to their drivers or other road users, until invitations have been extended to the tricycle driver or his relatives to arrange for an independent engineer to be present at any technical examination of the vehicle involved.
