16  Exception for vehicles exempt under another law
 (1) This Part does not apply to a motor vehicle, trailer or combination in relation to a provision of the Vehicle Standards if the vehicle or combination is exempt:
 (a) under other regulations made under the Act from the provision of the Vehicle Standards; or
 (b) under the law of another jurisdiction, from a provision of the law of the other jurisdiction corresponding to that provision.
 (2) However, the vehicle or combination is exempt from the provision or corresponding provision only if all conditions of the exemption (if any) are being complied with.
Example: An exemption permits a greater dimension limit for a vehicle. The exemption is subject to conditions about the route where, and times when, the vehicle is permitted to travel, and the escort vehicles required to accompany the vehicle. The operator and driver do not commit an offence against this Part in relation to the greater dimension limit if the conditions are complied with.
