Accident Tow Truck Temporary Permit - Victoria

Description

You will need this licence if you intend to temporarily operate a tow truck outside of your licence conditions or as a substitute tow truck due to mechanical issues or repairs. This licence is attached to a vehicle, not a person.

A tow truck issued with this licence may provide accident towing services to a vehicle of any weight, as long as the tow truck is capable of towing that vehicle.
