Gazette specifications for all taxi-cabs, or a class of taxi-cabs, with which
a taxi-cab, or a taxi-cab of that class, must comply.

(2) The operator of a taxi-cab must not operate the taxi-cab, or permit the
taxi-cab to be operated, unless the taxi-cab complies with all specifications
under subregulation (1) which are applicable to the taxi-cab.

Penalty: 20 penalty units.

(3) The licensing authority may exempt a taxi-cab from complying with any
specification under subregulation (1) that would otherwise be applicable to

is inappropriate to the nature or construction of the taxi-cab or to the
circumstances in which the taxi-cab is licensed to operate.
