As mentioned in paragraph (2), a charging scheme may make provision for any case in which an authorised person has reason to believe that, in respect of a vehicle which is stationary on a road in a charging area—
a
the vehicle is being used or kept on that road in contravention of the scheme; or
b
there are such number of penalty charges outstanding with respect to the vehicle as may be specified in that behalf in the scheme,
and that such other circumstances apply as may be specified in the scheme.
2
The scheme may provide that an authorised person or a person acting under his direction may—
a
fit an immobilisation device to the vehicle while it remains in the place where it is found; or
b
move it, or require it to be moved, to another place on that road or another road and fit an immobilisation device to the vehicle in that other place.

Where an immobilisation device is fitted to a vehicle in accordance with this regulation, the person fitting the device shall also fix to the vehicle an immobilisation notice—
a
indicating that the device has been fixed to the vehicle and warning that no attempt should be made to drive it or otherwise put it in motion until it has been released from the device;
b
stating that the vehicle may only be released from the device by or under the direction of an authorised person;
c
stating that the notice must not be removed or interfered with except by or on the authority of an authorised person; and
d
specifying the steps to be taken to secure its release including the penalty charges payable under the charging scheme and the person to whom and the means by which those charges may be paid.
