You can commit an offence if you are a licence holder or in control of a transport service and you tell the Director that you have the right certificate when you know this is not true or you do not care if it is true. If you are found guilty, you can be fined up to $10,000. You can find more information about this by looking at the Land Transport Act 1998 and related laws.
