Road Traffic Code Amendment Regulations 1990
Delegated Legislation Joint Committee (1987 - 2001)· 4 July 1990general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Joint Committee reviewed amendments to the Road Traffic Code regarding exemptions for emergency and special purpose vehicles. While acknowledging the necessity of such exemptions in specific situations, the committee expressed concern about the potential erosion of the law and trespass on individual rights via subordinate legislation. They recommend enshrining these exemptions in the Road Traffic Act itself.
