Liability for moving vehicle offences

Section 133 of the LTA shows proceedings may be taken against any person who, at the
time of the offence, was:
• the person allegedly committing the offence; and/or
• the registered owner or one of the owners of the vehicle involved; or
• lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle, whether jointly owned or not regardless
of whether that person is an individual, or was the driver or person in charge of the
vehicle at the time.

Defences against proceedings
It is a defence to proceedings under section 133 of the LTA that at the time the offence
was committed:
• the person was not lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle, whether jointly
owned or not; or
• another person was driving the vehicle; and
• immediately after becoming aware of the alleged offence, the person advises the
enforcement authority in writing of these things, and
• the person gives the enforcement authority a statutory declaration:
- identifying the driver, by giving name and address or
- other particulars that may lead to identification, or
- establishing that they could not identify the driver, after taking all reasonable steps
to do so.

Fairly clear that the registered owner is liable for the ticket unless they can give the name of the driver.

Just one of the responsibilities of owning a vehicle in this country.

Suck it up princess!

• another person was driving the vehicle; and
• immediately after becoming aware of the alleged offence, the person advises the
enforcement authority in writing of these things, and
• the person gives the enforcement authority a statutory declaration:
- identifying the driver, by giving name and address or
- other particulars that may lead to identification, or
- establishing that they could not identify the driver, after taking all reasonable steps
to do so.
