Just because some says something, doesnt not over rule what is actually written down as regulations. Unless youve got their name and have recorded the conversation it will mean nothing the next time a VicRoads officer pulls you over, and if he's having a bad day he can force you to not to go any further till you get the applicable permits.

Also as I said before it can result in your insurance being void if there is an accident.

I know of a truck driver who had it happen to them because the truck was 30cm too long (due to a bull bar)

Thanks that is a useful document, but its from 2007 they created the Class O vehicle in feb last year, which Naddis has supplied the info above for.
this regulation was brought in for light vehicles. so you don't need a permit.


My issue was the information was not readily available, I would argue that Vic Roads should be stipulating when its first registered that it complies with these Class O regs
there are many Boats on the Roads here that are in the same "Boat"
