Keeping a vehicle on the road Get a warrant of fitness or certificate of fitness Learn how to renew your warrant of fitness (WoF) and what to do if you fail.

Modifying a vehicle You can modify, customise or retune your car, motorcycle, van or ute — but you may need a low volume vehicle (LVV) certification to get a WoF. Vehicle licensing and road user charges To be on the road legally, your car needs to have a current licence. You’ll also need to pay road user charges (RUC) if your vehicle runs on diesel or electricity, or both — including plug-in vehicles that run on petrol.

Driving fines and penalties Fines, penalties and losing your licence You must follow the road rules for your safety and the safety of others when you drive.
