"Extra rules for some transport services"

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

When you want to run a small passenger service or a vehicle recovery service, the Director looks at some extra things. The Director checks if you have a history of serious behavioural problems or if you have committed certain offences. You are also checked for any complaints about you or your transport service that are serious or happen a lot.
