5 Definitions—the dictionary etc

(1) The dictionary at the end of the Vehicle Standards defines certain words and expressions, and includes signpost definitions to words and expressions defined elsewhere in the Vehicle Standards.

Note: A signpost definition (eg road‑related area see rule [1A.3]) is included in the dictionary only if the defined word or expression is used outside the rule defining the word or expression.

(2) The dictionary is part of the Vehicle Standards. (3) Certain definitions used in these regulations or the Vehicle Standards are taken from the Act.

Note 1: The definitions of motor vehicle, road, road‑related area and trailer are taken or derived from the Act.

Note 2: Under section 16 of the Act, the Minister may declare additional areas to be areas to which these regulations apply.

(4) A definition in these regulations or the Vehicle Standards applies to each use of the word or expression in these regulations and the Vehicle Standards, unless the contrary intention appears.
