Article 18: Immobilisation of vehicles
This Article sets out the circumstances in which the Department may immobilise a vehicle. This can be where a PCN is payable, or where there is an amount of debt from unpaid charges owed to the Department. Certain conditions must be satisfied before the vehicle can be immobilised because of an amount of debt owed to the Department. These conditions must be prescribed by the Department in regulations and could include, for example, that a specified number, or level, of outstanding debts would have to be reached before powers to immobilise could be employed.
