omit the definitions of
driver
jurisdiction
motor vehicle
road transport authority
road transport legislation
Explanatory note
This amendment omits commonly-used terms which are defined in the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, dictionary.

Part 3.12	Road Transport (Driver Licensing) Act 1999

It is consequential on the insertion, by another amendment, of new note 3 in the Act, dictionary, which refers users to the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, dictionary for the definitions of words and expressions commonly used in road transport legislation.

jurisdiction
motor vehicle
National Transport Commission
road transport authority

[3.20]	Section 52 (2)
omit
of another jurisdiction
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a redundant reference to ‘of another jurisdiction’.  Section 52 (2) refers to ‘a corresponding law of another jurisdiction’.  Because the term ‘of another jurisdiction’ forms part of the definition of corresponding law, it is not necessary to mention the term in section 52 (2).
[3.21]	Section 70 (4) (b)
omit
of another jurisdiction
Explanatory note
This amendment omits a redundant reference to ‘of another jurisdiction’.  Section 70 (4) (b) refers to ‘a corresponding law of another jurisdiction’.
