Which clause of what road traffic legislation?

"Clause"?
Acts don't have clauses; they have sections.

I take that as an admission that actually no road traffic legislation
requires it. That, in fact, your assertion was wrong.

Acts have clauses, whether they are titled "clause" or not. Clause is
a perfectly good general-purpose noun. My Oxford dictionary has
clause as being "a particular and separate article, stipulation, or
proviso, in any formal or legal document." I think you'd be on safer
ground making spelling flames, if that's the best you can do on
meaning.
