163   Certain requests etc prohibited

A person must not ask, direct or require (directly or indirectly) a driver or a party in the chain of responsibility to do something that the person knows, or reasonably ought to know, would have the effect of causing the driver to exceed any speed limit while driving a heavy vehicle.

Maximum penalty:

(a)  in the case of an individual—100 penalty units, or

(b)  in the case of a corporation—250 penalty units.

Note. Example of a requirement that contravenes this clause—A requirement that the driver complete a journey in a time that the person knows or reasonably ought to know cannot be complied with unless the driver commits a speeding offence or does not take all the rest breaks that the driver is required to take.
