35. Agreeing to pay by instalments has same effect as a full payment



(1) This section applies in respect of an infringement offence that would
result in a person incurring demerit points under the Road Safety Act 1986 or
any other Act or other instrument in respect of which a demerit system applies
if the person were convicted of the offence.

(2) For the purposes of the Road Safety Act 1986 or any other Act or other
instrument in respect of which a demerit system applies, a person is to be
taken as paying the infringement penalty in respect of the offence-

   (a)  on making a part payment; and

   (b)  in the case of a person to whom a payment plan applies, on making the
        first payment in accordance with the payment plan, or where a
        subsequent infringement penalty is added to a payment plan, on the
        making of the next payment following that addition, irrespective, in
        either case, of whether the payment related to that penalty.
