MOTOR VEHICLES ACT 1959 - SECT 81

81—Restricted licences and learner's permits

        (1)         Where, in such circumstances as the Registrar thinks fit and upon such evidence as the Registrar may require, the Registrar is satisfied that the holder of a licence or learner's permit, or an applicant for the issue or renewal of a licence or learner's permit, should only be permitted to drive a motor vehicle subject to restriction, the Registrar may endorse upon the licence or permit all or any of the following conditions:

            (a)         a condition that the holder of the licence or permit is permitted to drive only in specified localities; or

            (b)         a condition that the holder of the licence or permit is permitted to drive only a vehicle of a specified class, size or type or a vehicle fitted with specified equipment; or

            (c)         any other condition that the Registrar thinks necessary for the purpose of preventing accident or injury.

        (2)         Where the Registrar is satisfied that, because of special circumstances it would be unreasonable to require the applicant to take a theoretical examination under section 79, to pass a driving test under section 79A or to pass a hazard perception test under section 81A, the Registrar may, without submitting the applicant to such an examination or test, issue a licence or permit containing conditions as provided by subsection (1).

        (3)         If a person is not willing to accept a condition proposed by the Registrar under this section, the Registrar must refuse to issue or renew the licence or permit, or cancel the licence or permit, as the case may require.

        (4)         A person must not contravene a condition endorsed upon a licence or permit pursuant to this section.

Maximum penalty: $1 250.
