the case of a heavy vehicle that is not normally kept at a depot when not in use:
 (i) where the vehicle has only one registered operator—the home address of the registered operator; or
 (ii) where the vehicle has more than one registered operator—each of the home addresses of the registered operators; or
 (c) in the case of a vehicle that is not a heavy vehicle—the place nominated by the applicant for registration of the vehicle as the place where the vehicle is normally kept.
          Drafting note: It may be that paragraph (c) is not needed at this stage, given the current application of the Bill to heavy vehicles and heavy combinations.
GCM (gross combination mass) of a vehicle means the greatest possible sum of the maximum loaded mass of the vehicle and of any vehicles that may be towed by it at the one time:
 (a) as specified by the vehicle's manufacturer on an identification plate on the vehicle; or
 (b) as specified by the Authority if:
 (i) a sum is not specified by the vehicle's manufacturer on an identification plate on the vehicle; or
 (ii) a sum so specified on an identification plate is no longer appropriate because the vehicle has been modified.
          Drafting note: This refers to the vehicle's "rating" as specified by the manufacturer (or by the Authority in default). It does not refer to the "legal entitlements" of the vehicle, nor its actual mass as measured. It is assumed that, in the case of an SPV (special purpose vehicle) and a passenger‑carrying vehicle for which the manufacturer does not specify a GCM, the Authority will assign a GCM. Similar considerations apply to the definition of GVM.

 (a) animals (whether alive or dead); and
 (b) a container (whether empty or not);
but does not include:
 (c) people; or
 (d) fuel, water, lubricants and equipment required for the normal operation of the vehicle or combination in which they are carried.
GVM (gross vehicle mass) of a vehicle means the maximum loaded mass of the vehicle:
 (a) as specified by the vehicle's manufacturer on an identification plate on the vehicle; or
 (b) as specified by the Authority if:
 (i) a mass is not specified by the vehicle's manufacturer on an identification plate on the vehicle; or
 (ii) a mass so specified on an identification plate is no longer appropriate because the vehicle has been modified.
heavy combination means a combination that includes a heavy vehicle.
heavy vehicle means a motor vehicle or trailer that has a GVM greater than 4.5 tonnes, and includes:
 (a) a special purpose vehicle that has such a GVM; and
 (b) a passenger‑carrying vehicle that has such a GVM.
