Exemption for drivers of vehicles being used for police driver training
305A Exemption for drivers of vehicles being used for police driver training
A provision of these Rules does not apply to the driver of a vehicle being used for police driver training if—
in the circumstances—
the driver is taking reasonable care; and
it is reasonable that the provision should not apply; and
if the vehicle is a motor vehicle that is moving—the vehicle is displaying a blue or red flashing light or sounding an alarm.
Note
Motor vehicle is defined in the Road Safety Act 1986.
Subrule (1)(b) does not apply to the driver if, in the circumstances, it is reasonable—
not to display the light or sound the alarm; or
for the vehicle not to be fitted or equipped with a blue or red flashing light or an alarm.
In this rule—
police driver training means training or assessment approved by the Chief Commissioner of Police that is provided to a police officer by Victoria Police, or a contractor on behalf of Victoria Police, for the purposes of teaching the police officer how to drive a vehicle in the performance of the officer's duties as a police officer.
Note
Police officer is defined in the dictionary. Chief Commissioner of Police is defined in the Road Safety Act 1986. Victoria Police has the same meaning as in the Victoria Police Act 2013.
