(6) For such time as he is so registered in the register, the registered user of a motor vehicle shall, for all effects and purposes at law, carry all duties and responsiblities in relation to such motor vehicle which were previously borne by the owner of the said motor vehicle.

(7) The registration of a person and/or company as a registered user of a motor vehicle in the register shall be cancelled when an application to such effect is filed by the owner and the registered user bearing the signature of both on the form and according to such procedures which may be established by the Authority from time to time.

(9) Where a request for the removal of the name of a person and/ or company from the register as the registered user of a motor vehicle is submitted to the Authority either by the owner or by the registered user but not under the signature of both parties, the Authority shall proceed to remove the registered user from the register with regard to such motor vehicle when the request is made by means of a sworn declaration confirming that the registered user of the motor vehicle no longer makes habitual use of the motor vehicle in question. Such a request is to be made on the form and against such payment as may be established by the Authority from time to time and the removal of the name of the registered user from the register shall be communicated by the Authority to the other concerned party by means of registered mail.
