Proceedings for particular offences involving requirements about passengers

150B Proceedings for particular offences involving requirements about passengers

(1) This section applies in relation to proceedings for an offence prescribed under a regulation under this part that may be committed by a driver driving a vehicle carrying passengers in contravention of a requirement that a passenger be over a particular age or have a particular family relationship to the driver.
(2) In relation to proof of whether the particular family relationship existed between a passenger and the driver, a regulation may prescribe—
(a) that a belief of a police officer, on reasonable grounds, that the relationship did not exist is sufficient evidence of that fact; and
(b) that the driver has the onus of proving the relationship did exist.
(3) For subsection (2) (a) , the regulation may provide the belief mentioned in that paragraph may be formed by the police officer after reasonable enquiries made of the driver and passengers when the police officer finds the driver driving the passengers or soon after.
