9 Vehicles authorised to be driven by licence classes (1) A driver licence of a particular driver licence class authorises the holder to drive a motor vehicle— (a) of a kind covered by that driver licence class; or (b) of a kind covered by any lower class in the driver licence class hierarchy in section 8 (1). (2) The kinds of motor vehicles covered by each driver licence class are set out in table 9. (3) However, this section does not authorise the holder of a driver licence— (a) to drive a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with any conditions, restrictions or qualifications to which the driver licence is subject; or (b) to drive a motor vehicle in contravention of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (ACT); or (c) to drive a public vehicle for hire or reward unless the licence is also a public vehicle licence authorising the person to drive a public vehicle of that kind. (4) A diagram of something in table 9 is an illustrative example of the thing in black and white, but does not represent its dimensions or the dimensions of any part of it (or its comparative size in relation to something else).
