Submit an infringement notice declaration:
The responsible person for a registrable vehicle involved in an infringement notice offence is taken to be the individual in possession or control of the vehicle at the time of the offence unless the responsible person proves, on the balance of probabilities, that the person was not in possession or control of the vehicle at the time of the offence.

If you are not the person who committed the offence, under Part 3 of the Road Transport (General) Act 1999, you must take all reasonable steps to give the authority sufficient information to identify and locate the individual who was in possession or control of the vehicle at the time of the offence.

An individual takes all reasonable steps if they provide a declaration within the time required (including any additional time granted) and the authority accepts the declaration.

A corporation takes all reasonable steps if they provide a declaration within the time required (including any additional time granted) and the authority accepts the declaration.
