(3) A person required under this Act to give evidence of the correctness of a name and address, or name or address, who fails to give that evidence, or who gives false evidence with respect to the name and address or, as the case may be, name or address, commits an offence against this Act. ˙ Cooperation with authorised officers 9.11 A person must— (a) when required by an authorised officer facilitate by all reasonable means the entry into or on any place or vehicle by an authorised officer; (b) when required by or under this Act to furnish any assistance or to furnish any information to an authorised officer, furnish that assistance or information, as the case may be, or, in the latter case, furnish information which is not in any respect false or misleading;

(2) Despite this or any other Act, in a proceeding on a complaint the court may make an order on any matter within its jurisdiction though no application is made in respect of the matter. ˙ Liability of owner for offence relating to use of vehicles 9.17(1) Despite section 7 or 23 of the Criminal Code or any other Act or rule of law or practice, where an offence against a provision of this Act relating to the use of vehicles is committed by the driver of the vehicle, the person ( “the owner” ) in whose name a vehicle is registered (whether under this Act or any other Act of the Commonwealth or a State or Territory of the Commonwealth providing for the registration of vehicles) is to be taken to have taken part in committing the offence and may be charged with actually committing the offence unless the owner shows that, at the time the offence was committed the owner was not the driver and— (a) the vehicle was leased or let on hire (other than by way of a hire purchase agreement or a lease arrangement with an option to purchase) to another person by the owner; or (b) the vehicle was being used without the authority or consent of the owner. (2) Subject to subsection (1)(a) and (b), it is immaterial to the liability of the owner for such offence that—
s 9 19 s 9 Transport Infrastructure (Roads) Act 1991 (a) the offence was committed without the authority or contrary to the instructions of that person; or (b) the offence occurred independently of the exercise of the will of that person. (3) This section does not affect the liability of any driver who actually commits an offence. ˙ Nomination of responsible operator 9.17A.(1) If an owner has previously claimed the owner was not the driver and has failed to notify the name and address of the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a camera-detected offence, the chief executive may give written notice requesting the owner to nominate 1 responsible operator for each vehicle registered in the owner’s name whether jointly or otherwise. (2) If the owner wants to nominate the responsible operator the owner must give written notice containing the prescribed particulars to the chief executive within 28 days of receipt of the notice from the chief executive. (3) If a person does not nominate a responsible operator within 28 days, or nominates a person who is ineligible to be a responsible operator, the chief executive may nominate an existing registered owner as the responsible operator. (4) A responsible operator must be— (a) an individual who is— (i) 16 years or more; and (ii) the holder of a licence issued under a law of a State to drive a vehicle on a road; or (b) a corporation that is— (i) a company registered under the Corporations Law; or (ii) incorporated by or under an Act; or (iii) incorporated for a public purpose by an Act of this or another State or the Commonwealth; or (c) this or another State or the Commonwealth.
s 9 20 s 9 Transport Infrastructure (Roads) Act 1991 (5) Except for a nomination by the chief executive, the nomination must be accompanied by the written consent of the responsible operator. (6) If a licence is not required for the normal operation of the type of vehicle being registered and it is not designed to be towed, the responsible operator does not have to be the holder of a licence for the vehicle. (7) A person must not nominate a person as a responsible operator knowing that— (a) the nominated person is ineligible to be a responsible operator; or (b) any particulars about the nominated person are inaccurate. Maximum penalty—40 penalty units. (8) A person who has been requested to nominate a responsible operator— (a) may subsequently apply for, renew or transfer the registration of a vehicle only if a responsible operator has been nominated for the vehicle; and (b) must ensure there is a responsible operator during the registration of the vehicle.
