This is in NSW - dated Dec last year. My suggestions is that if you are concerned or unsure of what the rules are in your state, look up the local RTA (vic roads?) directory and find out who to write to and get it in writing. It certainly wasnt that difficult in NSW, and I have spoken to the guy from the RTA about this a couple of times since (great to have a contact there). As the letter also says, as of Dec last year there were no plans to change the rules in NSW.
