9.18 .         Notice placing onus on vehicle owner

        (1)         If the alleged offence is one for which a notice under section 9.13 can be given to the owner of a vehicle involved in the commission of the offence, that notice can be included in the same document as an infringement notice to the owner for the alleged offence.

        (2)         For the purpose of giving the vehicle owner an infringement notice that is with a notice under section 9.13 —

            (a)         it is a sufficient ground for believing the owner to have committed the alleged offence that the person is the owner; and

            (b)         the infringement notice may be addressed and given as specified in section 9.13(4).

        (3)         Where the modified penalty specified in an infringement notice has been paid within 28 days or such further time as is allowed, section 9.13(6) does not have effect to deem the owner to have committed the offence.

        (4)         The statement required by section 9.13(5) is to include a description of the effect of subsection (3) if an infringement notice is given with a notice under section 9.13.
