If a vehicle inspector has reason to believe that a vehicle being driven or being present on a road is not in roadworthy condition or fails to comply with this Act and regulations that person —
may, at a reasonable time, enter a public place where that vehicle is to be found and there inspect it; or
may stop that vehicle on the road and carry out such inspection or tests as appear to that person to be desirable.
In the absence of a vehicle inspector, a constable who has reason to believe that a vehicle being driven or being present on a road is not in roadworthy condition or fails to comply with this Act or regulations shall order that vehicle to be taken off the road and may exercise the powers conferred on a vehicle inspector under section 62(2).
