Licence & Insurance Requirements
The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) guidelines do not allow a person to drive independently with a modified driving control without having completed an RTA Disability Driving Test or alternatively having completed an occupational therapy on road assessment to establish their safety. The modified driving control is then endorsed on the drivers licence. Once the modified driving control is not required the person would need to demonstrate to the RTA that they could drive safely without it, before the endorsement could be removed from their licence. This is done by being retested by a driver trained occupational therapist (see Driving Assessment & Education minor group on this database).
Standards
The RTA requires evidence that the safety standards originally built into the vehicle have been maintained. Therefore, the modifications must be certified by an "Engineering Signatory" who is recognised by the RTA for this purpose. If the modifications are satisfactory, the signatory will issue an "Engineering Certificate" which must be presented to the RTA. The RTA maintains a list of "Engineering Signatories".
(Specific Australian Standards or other standards may be applicable to
