2 Dictionary
The dictionary at the end of this regulation is part of the regulation.
Note 1 The dictionary at the end of this regulation defines certain terms used in this regulation, and includes references ( signpost definitions ) to other terms defined elsewhere.
For example, the signpost definition ‘"semitrailer"—see the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2000 , dictionary.' means that the term ‘semitrailer' is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this regulation.
Note 2 A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire regulation unless the definition, or another provision of the regulation, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Legislation Act, s 155 and s 156 (1)).

The definitions in the dictionary do not apply to the Australian Road Rules unless this regulation provides otherwise.
