For the road transport legislation, each of the following is a responsible person for a vehicle:
(a) for a registered vehicle—a registered operator of the vehicle, unless the vehicle has been disposed of by the operator;
(b) for an unregistered vehicle to which a trader's plate is attached—the person to whom the trader's plate is issued under the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act 1999 ;
(c) for an unregistered vehicle to which no trader's plate is attached—a person who was last recorded as a registered operator of the vehicle;
(d) anyone else prescribed by regulation.
