101. Objectives

The objectives of these Regulations are-

   (a)  to establish a registration and permit system for motor vehicles and
        trailers used on highways that-

   (i)  ensures that vehicles are appropriately registered having regard to
        whether they meet standards for registration; and

   (ii) records the identification details of each vehicle and the name and
        address of the person responsible for it; and

   (iii) provides for the collection of associated fees; and

   (b)  to ensure that when vehicles are used on highways they are safe for
        use and are used in a safe manner; and

   (c)  to provide the general mass and dimension limits and other
        requirements for vehicles; and

   (d)  to provide for uniform conditions under which vehicles may safely
        exceed general mass and dimension limits; and

   (e)  to improve road safety; and

   (f)  to minimise the wear and damage caused by vehicles to roads and
        related structures, including bridges.
