Correct answer
The vehicle’s registered holder.
The vehicle’s registered holder. The Traffic Act assigns these offences to the holder or recorded long-term lessee, as well as periodic inspection and maintenance offences affecting safety. Responsibility cannot be resolved by saying the driver is always liable when the offender is unidentified. The duty to have and present required documents at a check must be distinguished from the legal assignment of responsibility for vehicle documentation.
