Hey guys and girls,
Just need some help understanding something.
Here is a probationary prohibited vehicle exemption application form from VicRoads website:
Now that section that I have circled in red is the part I need help understanding.
"No exemption is required from VicRoads if the probationary driver is driving an employers probationary prohibited vehicle in the course of his or her employment and at the request of his or her employer or where there is an ABN is force in relation to the persons business."
Does this mean that if you are on your P's, you can drive a probationary prohibited vehicle if your employer owns the vehicle only? Or can you also legally test drive customers cars that are probationary prohibited vehicles if you have your employers permission?
Reason I ask, my employer lets me road test customers cars before/after I work on them, for example, if I change brakes, change over engine, or if I get asked to listen for a noise that a customer is complaining about, but he also tells me that if it is a V8, Supercharged V6, Turbo 6 Cylinder or similar, to take that application form with me incase I get pulled over and questioned.
Any help will be appreciated to help me understand what they mean exactly, as I don't want to risk getting fined for driving a high powered vehicle when i'm not supposed to. I know i'm not allowed to drive my own vehicle on my P's but this is different.
And also, I don't want to start an arguement on this subject, I just would like some help with the matter.
Cheers,
Ben.
