New Zealand Legislation: Regulations

3D Exempt vehicle may not be used on road

• (1) The fact that a vehicle is exempt under regulation 3B or regulation 3C from the requirement to be licensed at all times by its owner does not exempt the vehicle from the requirement to be licensed at any time when it is used on a road and, subject to subclause (2), the exemption has no effect while the vehicle is being used on a road.

  (2) An exemption of a vehicle specified in paragraph (h) or paragraph (i) of regulation 3B will not cease to have effect merely because the stolen vehicle is being used without the authority of the owner or the vehicle held for sale is being driven by a prospective purchaser.

  (3) To avoid doubt, this regulation does not apply to a motor vehicle of a kind described in clause 6 of Part 1 of Schedule 1.

  Regulations 3B to 3F were inserted, as from 1 September 1997, by regulation 2 Transport (Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Amendment Regulations 1997 (SR 1997/141).

  Subclause (3) was inserted, as from 15 December 2006, by regulation 6 Transport (Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Amendment Regulations 2006 (SR 2006/380).
