In this part of the law, you need to know what some words mean. An immobilising device is a wheel clamp or something else that stops a motor vehicle from moving. You can find the amount that is considered a prescribed amount in regulations made under section 167(1)(md), or it is $100 including GST if no regulations are made. When you hear the word operator, it means a person who controls an immobilising device. A parking place is a spot on a road where you can park your motor vehicle. These words are important to understand how the law works. You should understand that these definitions are used in this part of the law to help you know what is being talked about.
