112D: Compliance with enforceable undertaking

You could also call this:

“Keeping your promise to follow transport rules”

If you make a promise to follow certain rules, which is called an ‘enforceable undertaking’, you must keep that promise. This is part of the Land Transport Act 1998.

If you break your promise, you are breaking the law. The punishment for breaking this law depends on whether you are a person or a company.

If you are a person and you break this law, you might have to pay a fine of up to $20,000.

If you are a company and you break this law, you might have to pay a fine of up to $100,000.

It’s important to keep the promises you make, especially when they are part of a legal agreement like an enforceable undertaking.
