ROAD TRANSPORT (GENERAL) ACT 1999 - SECT 61

61 Dealers to provide motor vehicle information to Authority

(cf Traffic Act, s 10ZJ)

(1) A dealer must provide to the Authority the information prescribed by the regulations concerning each late model motor vehicle that is in the care, custody or control of the dealer (anywhere in Australia) and that has been written off.

Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.

(2) The information required to be provided under this section must be provided:

(a) subject to paragraph (b), within 7 days after the motor vehicle comes into the care, custody or control of the dealer and before the motor vehicle is sold or otherwise disposed of in the course of the business carried on by the dealer, or

(b) within the time prescribed by the regulations.

(3) A dealer does not commit an offence under this section in respect of a failure to provide information concerning a motor vehicle if the dealer satisfies the court that:

(a) the dealer believed, on reasonable grounds, that the required information concerning the motor vehicle had already been provided to the Authority by an insurer under this Division, or

(b) the dealer did not know, and did not have reasonable cause to suspect, that the motor vehicle had been written off.

(4) The regulations may extend this section so that it also applies to late model motor vehicles that have been wrecked, or that have been wrecked in any specified manner, in the same way as it applies to written off motor vehicles (in which case the section applies accordingly).
