7 Short term permits to be taken to be short term unregistered vehicle permits

(1)  A short term permit authorising the use of an unregistered vehicle on public streets which was in force under the former Traffic Act provisions immediately before the commencement day, is taken to be a short term unregistered vehicle permit issued under the new Act and it continues in force, subject to the new Act, for the balance of the period for which it was issued but it must, for the balance of that period, be properly displayed as required by the former Traffic Act provisions.

(2)  Any conditions or restrictions affecting the use of a vehicle under a short term permit continue in force as if they were conditions imposed under the new Act.
