Section 13:20-26.6 - Motor vehicles declared "out-of-service"

(a) Vehicles declared "out-of-service" must meet all Federal requirements set forth by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 396.9c ( 49 CFR 396.9c), which is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Any authorized State Police officer or examiner shall declare and mark "out-of-service-limited movement authorized" any vehicle which has a serious mechanical or loading defect that may cause a breakdown or an accident, but which defect does not render the vehicle's continued operation, for limited movement, imminently dangerous.

(c) If a vehicle is declared "out-of-service-limited movement authorized," the inspecting State Police officer or examiner, in his or her discretion, may permit the vehicle to proceed to the nearest acceptable place of repair. The inspecting State Police officer or examiner shall record the location of the place of repair, the vehicle's authorized route of movement and the estimated date and time of arrival at the place of repair on the inspection form. Upon arrival at the designated place of repair, a vehicle marked "out-of-service-limited movement authorized" shall be considered "out-of-service" as described in (a) above.

(d) The person or persons completing the repairs required by the "out-of-service" or "out-of-service-limited movement authorized" notice shall certify to the Chief Administrator the date and the time the required repairs were completed.
