	(2)	In proceedings for an offence against this Act in which a person is charged as the operator of a vehicle, it is a defence if the person proves that at the relevant time the person was not principally responsible for the operation or use of the vehicle.
	(3)	In this section—
registered owner, in relation to a vehicle, means a person registered or recorded as an owner of the vehicle under the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 or a similar law of the Commonwealth or another State or a Territory of the Commonwealth.
173B—Service of notices etc on owners of vehicles
If a notice or other document is required or authorised by this Act to be served on or given to the owner of a vehicle, it is sufficient for the purposes of this Act, in a case where there is more than one owner of the vehicle, if it is served on or given to only one or some of the owners.
174—Liability when hired vehicles driven for hire
	(1)	If—
	(a)	the owner of a motor vehicle lets it on hire to a person who, for the purpose of, or by virtue of any industrial award, is taken to be a servant of that owner; and
	(b)	while the vehicle is so let, the person taking it on hire drives it in the course of a business of carrying passengers or goods for hire,
that person will, as regards liability for any injury, loss or damage caused by that person while so driving the vehicle, be taken to be the servant of the owner and to have been so driving the vehicle in the course of employment by the owner.
	(2)	In this section—
industrial award means an award, order or determination of an authority, commission, commissioner, committee, court or other tribunal of the Commonwealth or the State having jurisdiction to deal with industrial disputes or industrial matters.
174A—Liability of vehicle owners and expiation of certain offences
	(1)	In this section—
owner, in relation to a vehicle, has the meaning assigned to the term by section 5, and includes the operator of the vehicle;
prescribed offence means an offence against a prescribed provision of this Act.
	(2)	Without derogating from the liability of any other person, but subject to this section, if a vehicle is involved in a prescribed offence, the owner of the vehicle is guilty of an offence and liable to the same penalty as is prescribed for the principal offence and the expiation fee that is fixed for the principal offence applies in relation to an offence against this section.
	(3)	The owner and driver of a vehicle are not both liable through the operation of this section to be convicted of an offence arising out of the same circumstances, and consequently conviction of the owner exonerates the driver and conversely conviction of the driver exonerates the owner.
	(4)	An expiation notice or expiation reminder notice given under the Expiation of Offences Act 1996 to the owner of a vehicle for an alleged offence against this section involving the vehicle must be accompanied by a notice inviting the owner, if he or she was not the driver at the time of the alleged prescribed offence, to provide the council or officer specified in the notice, within the period specified in the notice, with a statutory declaration—
	(a)	setting out the name and address of the driver; or
	(b)	if he or she had transferred ownership of the vehicle to another prior to the time of the alleged offence and has complied with the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 in respect of the transfer—setting out details of the transfer (including the name and address of the transferee).
	(5)	Before proceedings are commenced against the owner of a vehicle for an offence against this section involving the vehicle, the complainant must send the owner a notice—
	(a)	setting out particulars of the alleged prescribed offence; and
	(b)	inviting the owner, if he or she was not the driver at the time of the alleged prescribed offence, to provide the complainant, within 21 days of the date of the notice, with a statutory declaration setting out the matters referred to in subsection (4).
	(6)	Subsection (5) does not apply to—
	(a)	proceedings commenced where an owner has elected under the Expiation of Offences Act 1996 to be prosecuted for the offence; or
	(b)	proceedings commenced against an owner of a vehicle who has been named in a statutory declaration under this section as the driver of the vehicle.
	(7)	Subject to subsection (8), in proceedings against the owner of a vehicle for an offence against this section, it is a defence to prove—
	(a)	that, in consequence of some unlawful act, the vehicle was not in the possession or control of the owner at the time of the alleged prescribed offence; or
	(b)	that the owner provided the complainant with a statutory declaration in accordance with an invitation under this section.
	(8)	The defence in subsection (7)(b) does not apply if it is proved that the owner made the declaration knowing it to be false in a material particular.
	(9)	If—
	(a)	an expiation notice is given to a person named as the alleged driver in a statutory declaration under this section; or
	(b)	proceedings are commenced against a person named as the alleged driver in such a statutory declaration,
the notice or summons, as the case may be, must be accompanied by a notice setting out particulars of the statutory declaration that named the person as the alleged driver.
	(10)	In proceedings against a person named in a statutory declaration under this section for the offence to which the declaration relates, it will be presumed, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the person was the driver of the vehicle at the time at which the alleged offence was committed.
	(11)	In proceedings against the owner or driver of a vehicle for an offence against this Act, an allegation in the complaint that a notice was given under this section on a specified day will be accepted as proof, in the absence of proof to the contrary, of the facts alleged.
174B—Further offence for continued parking contravention
If a person is guilty of an offence by reason of a vehicle being parked in contravention of a prescribed provision of this Act, the person is guilty of a further offence—
	(a)	in the case of an offence of being parked for longer than a permitted period of one or more hours—for each hour that the vehicle is parked continuously in the area or length of road in question in contravention of the provision; or
	(b)	in the case of an offence of being parked for longer than a permitted period of less than one hour—for each such period that the vehicle is parked continuously in the area or length or road in question in contravention of the provision; or
	(c)	in any other case—for each hour that the contravention continues.
Penalty: $500.
174C—Council may grant exemptions from certain provisions
	(1)	A council may exempt any person, or any persons of a specified class, or any specified vehicle, or any vehicles of a specified class, from compliance within its area with a prescribed provision of this Act.
	(2)	An exemption under this section may be granted subject to the payment of such fee and to such other conditions (if any) as the council thinks fit and specifies in the exemption.
174D—Proceedings for certain offences may only be taken by certain officers or with certain approvals
No person, other than a member of the police force or an officer or employee of a council, may commence proceedings against a person for an offence against a prescribed provision of this Act without the prior approval of the Commissioner of Police, or the chief executive officer of the council of the area in which the alleged offence was committed.
174E—Presumption as to commencement of proceedings
In proceedings for an offence against this Act, if it appears from the complaint that the complainant is a member of the police force or an officer or employee of a council, it will be presumed that the proceedings have been commenced on the complaint of a member of the police force or an officer or employee of a council, as the case may be, in the absence of proof to the contrary.
175—Evidence
	(1)	In proceedings for an offence against this Act, an allegation in a complaint that—
	(a)	a specified place was a road or road-related area, or a specified kind or portion of road or road-related area; or
