CROSS-BORDER JUSTICE ACT 2009 - SECT 138

138—Reporting accidents, producing driver's licences etc at police stations etc

        (1)         In this section—

"road traffic laws", of a participating jurisdiction, means—

            (a)         if the jurisdiction is the State—the Road Traffic Act 1961 ; or

            (b)         if the jurisdiction is another participating jurisdiction—the road traffic laws of that other jurisdiction under its cross-border laws.

        (2)         Subsections (3) and (4) apply in relation to a requirement under the law of the State to do something if no other provision of the State's cross-border laws authorises the thing to be done in another participating jurisdiction.

        (3)         A person who is required under the State's road traffic laws to do something at a police station or other place may do that thing at a police station or other place in another participating jurisdiction if the person has a connection with a cross-border region.

        (4)         A person who is required under any other law of the State to do something at a police station may do that thing at a police station in another participating jurisdiction if the person has a connection with a cross-border region.

        (5)         Subsections (6) and (7) apply in relation to a requirement under the law of another participating jurisdiction to do something if no other provision of the State's cross-border laws allows the thing to be done in the State.

        (6)         A person who is required under another participating jurisdiction's road traffic laws to do something at a police station or other place may do that thing at a police station or other place in the State if the person has a connection with a cross-border region.

        (7)         A person who is required under any other law of another participating jurisdiction to do something at a police station may do that thing at a police station in the State if the person has a connection with a cross-border region.

Note—

For the purpose of deciding whether or not a person to whom section 138 applies has a connection with a cross-border region, section 24 and Part 2 Division 4 apply.
