Notice 2003

Pursuant to subsection 70C (10) of the Transport Act 1962,
the Director of Land Transport Safety hereby gives the
following notice.

2689

Notice

1. Title and commencement—(1) This notice may be
   cited as the Transport (Driving Hours Logbook Exemption)
   Notice 2003.

(2) This notice shall come into effect on the day after its
notification in the New Zealand Gazette.

2. Interpretation—In this notice, unless the context
   otherwise requires:

“the Act” means the Transport Act 1962;

“enforcement officer” has the same meaning as it has in
section 2 (1) of the Transport Act 1962;

“evidence of vehicle inspection” has the same meaning
as it has in section 2 (1) of the Land Transport Act
1998; and

“Director” means the Director of Land Transport Safety.

3. Exemption from driving hours logbook requirements—The vehicles and classes of vehicles specified in Part A of
   the Schedule to this notice, and the services and classes
   of services specified in Part B of the Schedule to this notice,
   are hereby declared to be exempt from the provisions of
   subsections (1) to (9) of section 70C of the Act.

4. Director retains power to require logbook use—
   Section 70C (10A) of the Act empowers the director, where
   they have grounds to believe that a driver or that person’s
   employer does not fully comply with the requirements or
   conditions of an exemption in this notice, to give notice in
   writing that logbooks are to be maintained by the person or
   persons specified.

5. Driving hours requirements continue to apply—For
   the avoidance of doubt, any exemption in this notice applies
   in respect of the maintenance of logbooks only. The driving
   hours requirements specified in section 70B of the Act are
   not in any way affected by any provision in this notice.

6. Records to be kept—Pursuant to section 70C (10A) of
   the Act, it is a condition of any exemption provided in this
   notice that adequate records of the hours of work of each
   person using vehicles subject to section 70B (Driving Hours)
   must be kept for a period of 12 months and be available for
   inspection by any enforcement officer.

7. Prior notices replaced—(1) This notice replaces the
   Transport (Driver Logbooks Exemption) Order 1988.

(2) This notice revokes and replaces the Transport (Driver
Logbooks Exemption) Notice 1989, and the Transport
(Driver Logbooks Exemption) Notice 1990.
