If your business involves forklifts, you would know it’s an offence under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act of 1995 and the Motor Vehicle Insurance Act to drive an unregistered forklift on a public roadway. 

But say your unregistered forklift was always driven within your business’s property ... until one day, when a truck full of equipment arrived. No way could the truck fit into the driveway. Would you be tempted to drive the forklift outside to meet the truck? Would your drivers? 

Just this once! 
Many may think, “It couldn’t hurt, just this once.” 

Murphy’s Law says it can! Your luck COULD suddenly run out. It HAS happened. It may not even be your fault if some dimwit comes 
down the road and runs into you. 

Horrifying consequences 
Even with such a small window of opportunity, you could still accidentally run over, kill or injure a pedestrian, or damage another vehicle. 

Because your vehicle is unregistered, you -- or your company -- could be successfully sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

So if your fork-lift needed to be used even briefly on public roadways and footpaths, you’d be shrewd to have it registered.

Even if you or others don’t ever drive it on public thoroughfares, you’d still be wise to talk to your insurer if you’re working with people around.
