22B Penalty notices for offences against regulations

(1) If it appears to an officer prescribed by the regulations that any person has committed, or by virtue of section 22A is guilty of, any offence against a regulation, the officer may serve a notice on that person to the effect that, if that person does not desire to have the matter determined by a court, that person may pay to the Trust, within a time specified in the notice, an amount of penalty prescribed by the regulations for the offence if dealt with under this section.

(2) Any such notice:

(a) may be served personally or by post, or

(b) if it relates to an offence of which the owner of a vehicle is guilty by virtue of section 22A, may be addressed to the owner without naming the owner or stating the address of the owner and may be served by leaving it on or attaching it to the vehicle.

(3) If the amount of any penalty prescribed for an alleged offence is paid in accordance with this section, no person is liable to any further proceedings for the alleged offence.

(4) Payment of a penalty in accordance with this section is not an admission of liability for the purposes of any civil claim, action or proceeding arising out of the same occurrence, nor does it in any way affect or prejudice any such claim, action or proceeding.

(5) Nothing in this section limits the operation of any provision made by or under this or any other Act in relation to proceedings that may be taken in respect of offences.
