Where this section sits in the code
- Title 56 - MOTOR VEHICLES
- CHAPTER 5 Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways
- ARTICLE 41 Disposition of Abandoned or Derelict Motor Vehicles on Public or Private Property
Abandoned and derelict vehicles constitute a hazard to the health and welfare of the people in the State in that such vehicles can harbor noxious diseases, furnish shelter and breeding places for vermin, and present physical dangers to the safety and well-being of children and other citizens. It is, therefore, in the public interest that the present accumulation of abandoned and derelict vehicles be eliminated and that the future abandonment of such vehicles be prevented.
