2

An authorised person exercising the power conferred by subsection (1) must, if so requested, produce evidence of his authority to exercise the power.

3

A person is guilty of an offence if he fails to comply with subsection (1).

4

Subsection (3) does not apply if any of the following conditions is satisfied.

5

The first condition is that—

a

the person produces the registration document, in person, at a police station specified by him at the time of the request, and

b

he does so within 7 days after the date on which the request was made or as soon as is reasonably practicable.

6

The second condition is that—

a

the vehicle is subject to a lease or hire agreement,

b

the vehicle is not registered in the name of the lessee or hirer under that agreement and is not required to be so registered,

c

the person produces appropriate evidence of the agreement to the constable or authorised person at the time of the request or he produces such evidence in person, at a police station specified by him at the time of the request—

i

within 7 days after the date of the request, or

ii

as soon as is reasonably practicable, and

d

the person has reasonable grounds for believing, or it is reasonable for him to expect, that the person from whom the vehicle has been leased or hired is able to produce, or require the production of, the registration document.

7

a

a copy of the agreement, or

b

10

A person accused of an offence under this section is not entitled to the benefit of an exception conferred by or under this section unless evidence is adduced that is sufficient to raise an issue with respect to that exception, but where evidence is so adduced it is for the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the exception does not apply.
