66F Removal of immobilisation before end of immobilisation period
(1) The Director must direct an immobilisation officer to remove the

immobilisation period if:
(a) the fine defaulter has paid all outstanding amounts under an
enforcement order or the order has otherwise been satisfied;
or
(b) the Director reasonably believes immobilisation would cause
undue inconvenience to a person other than the fine defaulter.
(2) The Director may direct an immobilisation officer to remove the
immobilisation from a motor vehicle although a fine defaulter has
not paid all outstanding amounts under the enforcement order.
