This section applies if —

a police officer reasonably believes that a prescribed road law offence, of which the standing, parking or leaving of a vehicle is an element, has been committed; and

the identity of the person who stood, parked or left the vehicle is not known and cannot immediately be ascertained.

The police officer may serve a notice (an infringement notice (vehicle)) in relation to the alleged offence on the responsible person for the vehicle, without naming the person or stating the person’s address, by leaving a hard copy of the notice in or upon, or attaching it to, the vehicle.

An infringement notice (vehicle) must —

contain or be accompanied by a statement explaining the operation of sections 84, 85, 92 (other than subsection (2)(b)(iii)), 93(1) and (2) and 101; and

specify the manner in which a written notice, evidence or a family violence evidentiary document can be given under section 84.

If there is more than 1 responsible person for the vehicle, the infringement notice (vehicle) is taken to have been served on —

if only 1 responsible person responds to the notice — that responsible person; or

otherwise — not more than 1 responsible person chosen by the Commissioner of Police.
