Fine schedule to use broader term 'specified vehicle' instead of 'emergency vehicle or tow truck' for certain roadside-passing offences

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

Three future amendments to the offence fine schedule are now flagged in the regulation text. Two items in Schedule 43 that currently describe offences related to passing an 'emergency vehicle or tow truck' will be updated to refer to a 'specified vehicle' — a wider category. A third item corrects the subsection reference used to identify one of those offences. These changes expand the scope of the ticketable offence entries so they align with a broader vehicle definition being introduced by other legislation. Drivers, tow truck operators, fleet managers, and roadside service providers should be aware that the class of vehicles triggering slow-down and move-over offence tickets will be broader under these updated entries.
