vehicle shall, if the explosion or fire involved petroleum-spirit, forthwith
send or cause to be sent to the Minister of Home Affairs notice of the
accident and of the loss of life or personal injury, but this provision shall
not apply where the petroleum-spirit carried or loaded on, or unloaded from,
the ship or vehicle is or was for use only on that ship or vehicle or in any
case in which such notice as aforesaid is otherwise by law required to be sent
to some government department.
