Read the article, a Family First beat-up.
The comment from the departmental spokesman clearly says that it isn't aimed at people lending cars to friends.
However, if cars were being hired  without the correct licensing, presumabley they wouldn't be covered by either 3rd party or comprehensive insurance if involved in a prang.  Just imagine the sh1t that would cause for the person hit / bridal party.
There can actually be valida reasons for regulation, perhaps this is a case in point. Not everything is about the 'nanny state'.

B&B is spot on here. This is a BS story. If a bloke lends his car out and charges $$ without accreditation then they will gun for him. Providing use of your buggy for nicks is all good as long as it is roadworthy, insured and registered.

No brainer really.

Well it is SA, so anythings possible!!

I was in a wedding party a few years ago, and the groom got a guy from work to drive us in his GTHO falcon. And back then I remember him saying he doesn't do this any more (only did it because he promised it a year earlier) because other guys in his car club had received warnings from the government, as the article states. So this isn't a new issue, it would have been atleast 3 years ago I heard it.

Yep B&B and Snow are right.  Rather then blaming governments the journo should go back to school and learn his trade.  Very poorly written article with no investigation about the matter at all.

I think the whole thing revolves around special interest vehicles being used as hire cars.  Not the 'lending it for a mates wedding'.

We have friends who have three early Jags that are doing weddings every few weeks.  Its a cash in hand business in reality though they are only being 'lent', often with a driver LOL.

I couldn't care less but I imagine the hire car industry is putting pressure on the govt.

Its a cash in hand business.  That is the problem right there.  You either lend the vehicle or you hire the vehicle, any cash exchanged makes it a business and opens up a whole new can of worms

It's the same here in QLD. Has been for a lot of years. I believe originally, you had to have a taxi or limo licence or some crap to charge for your hire, now it's some other licence. Same happened in the towing industry years ago.

Here, you can use your vehicle for private functions etc, provided there's no fee and the vehicle is on full rego. No consessional or club rego allowed.

It's not just a liability issue, but it also protects industries.

Is this the same as getting a lift to work and giving your mate petrol money?
