Left Hand Drive

LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES

(To be read in conjunction with the Handbook ‘The CLUB PERMIT SCHEME (Victoria)’)

Left Hand Drive vehicles on a rolling 25 year basis may now be issued with a Club Permit.

The vehicles must comply as set out in the Club Permit Scheme Handbook PLUS additional requirements as below:

Only approved clubs that are members of an approved Association (eg. Association of Motoring Clubs) are permitted to authorise applications for club permits for left hand drive vehicles.

• Provided they have NOT been MODIFIED.
• If the left hand drive vehicle does not have all required lamps, (including dipping headlights suitable for right hand drive vehicles) it cannot be used at night.
• The driver of the left hand drive vehicle must hold a full (ie. not probationary) licence.
• Left hand drive vehicles that are approved for Club Permits may only participate in events as set out for right hand drive vehicles in the Handbook:

Failure to comply with the Rules of the Club Permit Scheme could result in –

1. Fine for driving an unregistered vehicle, or
2. Loss of the individual Club Permit, or
3. Loss of the Club’s authority to operate the Club Permit Scheme, or
4. Cancellation of the Club Permit Scheme for all enthusiasts.

To obtain a Club Permit for a Left Hand Drive Vehicle.

Allow plenty of time to process the application – Club and AOMC Officials are volunteers.

Talk to the Club Permit Officer at your club to obtain details of your Club's requirements.

Ask your Club's Permit Officer to obtain the necessary letter from the AOMC while other paperwork is being processed to avoid delays.

Do NOT request this document yourself -- it must be requested by your Club. This letter will be returned to your club to pass on to you.
