Stationary vehicle offences
We need to make sure the cars on our roads – and on the side of our roads – have a current Warrant of Fitness and are where they should be. We issue infringement tickets for the following stationary vehicle offences:
- Breaching road user rules and bylaws
- Allowing an unlicensed motor vehicle to be on the road
- Evidence of vehicle inspection offences
- Using a vehicle that has smooth or damaged tyres
Stationary vehicle offences also include parking infringements issued for exceeding time limits for pay and display areas or for failure to display a valid pay and display ticket.
