Removal of unattended motor vehicles—emergencies
35 Removal of unattended motor vehicles—emergencies
At any time during a major event period, the responsible authority for the major event may—
request a police officer, or
direct another appropriate officer,
to remove an unattended motor vehicle or trailer from a road within a transport area if the responsible authority is of the opinion that it is necessary to do so.
The provisions of section 143 (2)–(8) of the Road Transport Act 2013 apply to the removal of an unattended motor vehicle or trailer in accordance with this section in the same way as they apply to the removal of an unattended motor vehicle or trailer in accordance with that section.
However, it is not necessary that the unattended motor vehicle or trailer is standing unlawfully.
In this section—
appropriate officer has the same meaning as in section 143 of the Road Transport Act 2013.
