If the responsible person for a vehicle used in the commission of an unauthorised impounding offence has no intention of collecting the vehicle at the conclusion of the impoundment period, an application can be made to the Commissioner of Police in accordance with section 80JA of the Road Traffic Amendment Act 1974 to dispose of the vehicle early.Īn application requesting the Commissioner of Police to sell an impounded vehicle can only be made once 48 hours has passed since the vehicle has been impounded. The driver responsible for the impounding offence will further be liable to pay the cost associated with disposing of that vehicle. If the vehicle is not collected at the conclusion of the impoundment period, daily costs will continue to accumulate until the Commissioner of Police has the authority to dispose of the uncollected vehicle.
These applications do not apply to reckless driving offences. If your vehicle has been impounded for an unauthorised driving offence, you will incur daily costs until the vehicle is collected.
