Synopsis | This Bill will chiefly amend the vehicle impounding and confiscation provisions contained in part V Division 4 of the Road Traffic Act 1974.These provisions were inserted by the Road Traffic (Impounding and Confiscation of Vehicles) Act 2004.Presently, these provisions create certain offences, the commission of which may result in the impounding or confiscation of the vehicle used in the commission of offence. This Bill removes the current requirement for police, when considering whether to impound the vehicle of a hoon driver for 48 hours, to have personal knowledge that these are the grounds to impound the vehicle prior to doing so. |
