Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 17 January 2020, amend Schedule 1 of the Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999. Those regulations create offences for breaching specified land transport provisions and specify the penalties that apply.

The amendment made by regulation 4 relates to Land Transport Rule: Light-vehicle Brakes Amendment (No 2) 2019, which inserts a new provision into Land Transport Rule: Light-vehicle Brakes 2002. That new provision makes it an offence for a person to knowingly make a false declaration when applying for identification of a vehicle as an immigrant’s vehicle or for a special interest motorcycle permit. This amendment prescribes the maximum fines for that offence.
