Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

When the Director is checking if you are a fit and proper person to run a large passenger service, they must consider some specific things. They look at your history of serious behavioural problems that might show you could be violent. The Director also checks if you have been in trouble with the law for violent or sexual offences. They consider if you have been in trouble with the law for major transport-related offences, especially ones related to safety or road user charges, as stated in section 30C(2).
