66 Service of interlock
(1) For the purposes of regulation 61(2)(a)(ii) , an interlock is correctly serviced if each holder of the interlock licence who nominated the motor vehicle that has been installed with the interlock –
(a) takes the motor vehicle, in which the interlock is installed, to a service centre of the approved provider who installed the interlock; and
(b) is present at the service centre while the interlock is serviced; and
(c) performs any necessary action for the service to be completed, including providing a breath sample to validate that the interlock is working correctly; and
(d) complies with these regulations and any additional requirements of the MAIP in respect of the service, including intervals between services, and the payment of any fee payable at the service; and
(e) at the end of the service, signs a copy of the performance report provided, in respect of the service, to the holder of the interlock licence.
(2) For the avoidance of doubt, if an interlock that identifies multiple users is installed in accordance with an approval under regulation 65 , each holder of an interlock licence that nominated the motor vehicle –
(a) must arrange and attend a service of the interlock in accordance with this Part and the MAIP; and
(b) may arrange for the service to be held at the same time as, or at a different time from, another holder of an interlock licence that nominated the vehicle.
(3) Subregulation (1)(b) does not apply to the holder of an interlock licence if another person –
(a) presents the vehicle, in which the interlock is installed, for service; and
(b) at that time, provides a valid medical certificate in respect of the holder of the interlock licence that specifies that the holder of the interlock licence is unfit to drive or to attend the service.
(4) Despite subregulation (3) , the holder of an interlock licence must not fail to attend 2 or more consecutive services, whether or not the holder of the interlock licence has a valid medical certificate for each service.
