Commercial vehicle registration deadline looms

Commercial goods vehicles owners have one more day to get themselves prepared for new laws.

Those who use vehicles over 3.5 tonnes are being told they must apply for an Operate Licence or Operator Registration before tomorrows deadline (December 31).

The Department of Infrastructure says new rules were brought in at the start of the year and that the period to comply is coming to an end, adding those who fail to register will be breaking the law and face being fined.

Officials are asking anyone needing to apply to contact the Road Transport Licensing Committee on 685 476.
