Notice placing onus on vehicle owner
52 Notice placing onus on vehicle owner
If an alleged offence is one for which a notice under section 49 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 given to the owner for the alleged offence.
For the purpose of giving the vehicle owner an infringement notice that is with a notice under section 49 —
it is a sufficient ground for believing the owner to have committed the alleged offence that the person is the owner; and
the infringement notice may be addressed and given as specified in section 49(4).
Where the modified penalty specified in an infringement notice has been paid within 28 days or such further time as is allowed, section 49(6) does not have effect to deem the owner to have committed the offence.
The statement required by section 49(5) is to include a description of the effect of subsection (3) if an infringement notice is given with a notice under section 49.
