        (1)         If the Registrar is satisfied by such evidence as the Registrar requires that the owner of a motor vehicle—

            (a)         is entitled, as the holder of a pensioner entitlement card issued under an Act or law of the Commonwealth, to travel on public transport in this State at reduced fares; and

            (b)         the motor vehicle will, during the period for which it is sought to be registered, be wholly or mainly used for the transport of the owner,

the prescribed registration fee for that motor vehicle must be reduced by the prescribed amount.

        (2)         This section does not apply to or in relation to—

            (a)         more than one motor vehicle owned by the same owner; or

            (b)         any motor vehicle in respect of the registration of which a reduced fee is payable pursuant to any provision of this Act other than this section.

        (3)         If the registered owner of a motor vehicle that has been registered at a reduced fee in accordance with this section dies, or ceases to be the owner of the vehicle, the registration will, subject to this Act, continue in force for a period of one month after death, or the cessation of ownership, and will, unless the balance of the prescribed registration fee is paid, become void on the expiration of that period.
