Road Transport Act 2013

The Commissioner of Police may cause an impounded or forfeited motor vehicle to be offered for sale in the circumstances prescribed by the statutory rules. The sale is to be by public auction or public tender.

The motor vehicle may be disposed of otherwise than by sale if the Commissioner of Police believes on reasonable grounds that the vehicle has no monetary value or that the proceeds of the sale would be unlikely to exceed the costs of sale.

If the motor vehicle offered for sale is not sold, the Commissioner of Police may dispose of the motor vehicle otherwise than by sale.

The statutory rules may make provision for or with respect to the disposal of the proceeds of any such sale, including provisions for or with respect to entitling persons to seek to be paid any such proceeds.

At the request of Transport for NSW, the Commissioner of Police may dispose of a motor vehicle that is the subject of forfeiture under section 245 by releasing it to Transport for NSW to be used for the purposes of crash testing and any educational program for drivers of motor vehicles established by Transport for NSW.

Transport for NSW may cause any motor vehicle released to it to be used for the purposes of crash testing and any educational program for drivers of motor vehicles established by Transport for NSW.
