Infringement notices

A new Part dealing with infringement notices or "on the spot fines'' is inserted into the Act. The most important change is to allow infringement notices to be served on the owners of vehicles as well as on drivers. This will bring the ACT into line with most other Australian jurisdictions. It recognises the fact that, in many cases, it is the owner of a vehicle rather than the driver who is primarily responsible for a breach.

I commend the Bill to the Assembly
