If a category 2 vehicle falls within 2 or more charging categories stated in schedule 3 , part 1 or 2 , the registration fee for the vehicle is the higher, or highest, of the fees that could apply to the vehicle. For applying schedule 3 , the following vehicles are taken to be 1 trailer— a converter dolly and a semitrailer, when used together; a low loader dolly and a low loader, when used together. For applying schedule 3 to a vehicle, other than a trailer— 2 axles with less than 1m between them are taken to be 1 axle; and 3 axles with 2m or less between the first and third axles are taken to be 2 axles; and 4 axles with 3.2m or less between the first and fourth axles are taken to be 3 axles. For subsection (3) , the distance between axles is measured between the centres of the wheels— mounted on the axles; and parallel to the length of the vehicle. If a category 2 vehicle is registered as a particular type of vehicle stated in schedule 3 , a person must not use the vehicle, or, whether or not the person is the vehicle’s registered operator, permit another person to use the vehicle, as a vehicle of another type to which a higher registration fee applies. Maximum penalty—80 penalty units. If a truck (type 1) or a truck (type 2) is not registered as a short combination truck, a person must not use, or permit another person to use, the vehicle to tow a trailer.
