### sec.107 Defence in relation to motorbike noise order offences In a proceeding for an impounding order or a forfeiture order in relation to a motorbike, it is a defence for an owner of the motorbike to prove that a motorbike noise order offence happened without the knowledge and consent of the owner. A parent lends a motorbike to the parent’s child to visit friends and the child commits a motorbike noise order offence on the motorbike. If the Magistrates Court is satisfied, on evidence tendered or submissions made by the parent, that the child committed the offence without the knowledge and consent of the parent, the Magistrates Court may order the motorbike’s return to the parent. s 107 ins 2002 No. 33 s 6 amd 2005 No. 64 s 3 sch sub 2013 No. 15 s 57 amd 2024 No. 24 s 57 sch 1 pt 2
