DRIVERS LICENSES In the early days driving licenses were issued to drivers for commercial purposes (eg. goods or passenger transportation), private people aren’t required to have a license for private travel. Section 92 of the Constitution grants us free travel within the Commonwealth. The 1911 and 1913 referendums in regards to nationalising Monopolies were not carried. The Statute of Monopolies 1623 prohibits monopolies, therefore why do corporations like Vic Roads have a monopoly on the roads?Imperial Acts Application Act 1980 – SECT 8 Division 4-Monopolies [1623-4] 21 or 21 and 22 James I c.
