### sec.105ZC Liability for toll and user administration charge and satisfying the liability
The driver of a designated vehicle entering, or on, a local government tollway is liable, at each toll plaza through which the vehicle passes, for—
the toll payable at the toll plaza for the use of the local government tollway by the vehicle; and
if the driver satisfies the driver’s liability under paragraph (a) other than in cash or by use of the E toll system—the user administration charge for the toll.
The amount of any unpaid toll or user administration charge may be recovered by the local government tollway operator as a debt from the driver, subject to any applicable agreement made by the local government tollway operator.
However, the driver is not liable to pay the amount of the user administration charge for the toll if the toll is unpaid because—
the driver’s transponder or other electronic device is faulty through no fault of the driver and the driver is unaware it is faulty; or
the E toll system is faulty or otherwise inoperable.
The driver may satisfy the driver’s liability for the toll payable at a toll plaza by—
if a part of the toll plaza is designated by appropriate signs as available for making a toll payment in cash—making a payment in cash of the toll payable; or
if there is an E toll only pay point at the toll plaza, or another part of the toll plaza designated by appropriate signs as available for using an E toll system—using the E toll system as required under section 105ZD (1) ; or
if a notice under section 105ZB provides another way of making the payment—making the payment in that way.
If the designated vehicle is at an E toll only pay point at the toll plaza, the driver may satisfy the driver’s liability for the toll only by—
using the E toll system as required under section 105ZD (1) ; or
another way provided in a notice under section 105ZB .
