Where an uninsured motor vehicle is being driven partly on a road and partly off a road at the time of an accident, the accident 'happens on a road' for the purposes of ss 5(2) and 5(3) of the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld). The vehicle is to be viewed as a unit, and the location of the point of impact is not determinative. The categories in s 5(1)(a)(i)-(iv) define causal connections, not accident locations, and any one satisfied connection is sufficient to engage the Act without requiring selection of the 'most appropriate' category.
