Correct answer
Their parents, tutors, foster carers or legal or de facto guardians, in the statutory order.
Article 82 makes the parents, tutors, foster carers and legal or de facto guardians, in that order, jointly liable with an offender under 18 for the fine because of their failure to prevent the offence. This financial liability does not transfer the minor’s points deduction to the adults. Do not assume the driver is responsible for every traffic offence: the article specifies other cases.
