15 Vehicles registered in another jurisdiction(cf VR Act, s 17N(1) and (2))
The owner of a chargeable heavy vehicle registered in another jurisdiction, or which is exempted from registration in another jurisdiction (other than because the vehicle is registered elsewhere), must not—
use or drive the vehicle on a road other than in the configuration for which it is registered or in which it is so exempt, or
cause or permit it to be so driven on a road.
Maximum penalty—100 penalty units.
This clause does not apply if the vehicle, in its changed configuration, would be liable to the same or less registration charges in the jurisdiction in which it is registered than those paid for the configuration for which it is registered or in which it is so exempt.
