The object of this Regulation is to clarify the effect of an existing offence provision that prohibits road trains from being stood or driven on public streets without the permission of the Commissioner of Police or without an overdimension permit. This offence is presently part of an offence provision that deals with motor vehicles drawing other vehicles or trailers, and this Regulation merely creates a separate offence dealing with road trains. This Regulation also restores the monetary penalty that existed for road train offences before 4 August 1995.
This Regulation is made under the Traffic Act 1909 (in particular, section 3 (1 ) (a)
and (h)).
