The police officer is vested with discretion to determine if, under the totality of the circumstances, the motor vehicle is capable of being operated in a safe manner by either a properly-licensed owner of the motor vehicle or a properly-licensed passenger where the owner gives permission for release of the motor vehicle to a properly-licensed passenger within the motor vehicle. If the police officer so concludes, then a motor vehicle shall not be impounded, but rather be released into the custody of the owner or passenger in accordance with the regulations and procedures specified herein.
