4 Dictionary
The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.
Note 1 The dictionary defines certain terms, and includes references (signpost
definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere in this Act or elsewhere in
the road transport legislation.
For example, the signpost definition ‘driver licence—see the Road
Transport (Driver Licensing) Act 1999, dictionary.’ means the term
‘driver licence’ is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to
this Act.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to
the entire Act unless the definition, or another provision of the Act,
provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see
Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).
