Q. Who can drive a HVS or CVS registered vehicle on a Log Book?
A. To drive a historic or classic vehicle you need a vehicle licence appropriate to the vehicle type. Any person who is the holder of the appropriate licence can legally drive a conditionally registered vehicle.
The driver DOES NOT have to be the operator/owner of the vehicle indicated on the Log Book, and DOES NOT have to be a member of a TFNSW recognised historic vehicle club.
This also applies to drivers of HVS vehicles on Club Runs. The HVS & CVS Log Books are Vehicle Log Books, not Driver log books. (Ref. TFNSW - Historic vehicle: Registration, uses and equipment - Driver Licence ; see also Dinkum Oil # 21, Dec 2022
