103 Release from storage
This section applies if a motor vehicle that has been towed is stored in a storage yard.
If a relevant person for the vehicle asks the person in charge of the storage yard to release the vehicle, the person in charge must release the vehicle as soon as is practicable but in any event no later than 4 hours after the request is made.
Penalty for this subsection: a fine of 100 PU.
For the purposes of determining when the 4‑hour period referred to in subsection (2) expires, only time between 9 am and 5 pm on a business day is to be counted.
Regulations may prescribe the steps that must be taken to release the vehicle for the purposes of subsection (2).
