"[...] unless it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle."
Apparently that was never a legal exemption. It was refuted in the public consultation of the bill for the Sexual Offenders Act 2003. However - that draft bill did try to make a "flashing" offence of any exposure of the male member - that might be visible to the public - whether anyone saw it or not.
When taken to task they made it also applicable to women. Eventually they had to reinstate the previous law's wording of "intent to cause alarm or distress". The police and vested interests complained about the limitations it imposed - as previously "it was hard to prove - and there weren't enough convictions".
