Reminder notice in respect of infringement offence

(Section 140 of the Land Transport Act 1998)

Note: If, after reading these notes, you do not understand anything in the notes, you should consult a lawyer immediately.

Note: Infringement offence notices may be issued under the Land Transport Act 1998 in respect of—

• moving vehicle offences:

• overloading offences:

• stationary vehicle offences:

• any offence (other than a moving vehicle offence, overloading offence, or stationary vehicle offence) specified in the Land Transport Act 1998:

• any other offence specified as an infringement offence against the Land Transport Act 1998.

Note: If, under section 21(3A) or (3C)(a) of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957, you enter or have entered into a time to pay arrangement with an informant in respect of an infringement fee payable by you, paragraphs 3 and 4 below do not apply and you are not entitled either to request a hearing to deny liability or to ask the court to consider any submissions (as to penalty or otherwise) in respect of the infringement.

The type of infringement offence that you are alleged to have committed appears on the front of this form.

Paragraphs 1 to 6 and paragraph 8 below apply to all types of infringement offences under the the Land Transport Act 1998.

Paragraph 7 relates only to stationary and moving vehicle offences.

• 1 If you pay the infringement fee or the amount of the infringement fee remaining unpaid (including any towage fees) within 28 days after the service of this notice, no further enforcement action will be taken against you. Payments must be made to the informant at the address shown on the front page of this notice.

  Note: If the offence alleged against you is an offence to which demerit points apply (other than an offence detected by approved vehicle surveillance equipment), demerit points will be recorded against you on payment of the infringement fee (or upon conviction for the offence). The number of demerit points that will be imposed is shown on the front of this notice.

• 2 If you wish to raise any matter relating to the circumstances of the alleged offence, you should do so by writing to the informant at the address shown on the front page of this notice. Your query must be received by the informant within 28 days after the service of this notice.

• 3 If you wish to deny liability in respect of the alleged offence, you must write to the informant at the address shown on the front page of this notice requesting a hearing in respect of the offence. Your request must be received by the informant within 28 days after the service of this notice. The informant will then, if it decides to commence court proceedings in respect of the offence, serve you with a notice of hearing setting out the place and time at which the matter will be heard by the court.

  Note: If the court finds you guilty of the offence, costs will be imposed in addition to any penalty.

• 4 If you admit liability in respect of the alleged offence but wish to have the court consider submissions as to penalty or otherwise, you must write to the informant at the address shown on the front page of this notice requesting a hearing in respect of the offence and in that same letter admit liability in respect of the offence and set out the submissions that you would wish to be considered by the court. Your request must be received by the informant within 28 days after the service of this notice. The informant will then, if it decides to commence court proceedings in respect of the offence, file your letter with the court. You are not entitled to make oral submissions to the court if you follow this course of action.

  Note: Costs will be imposed in addition to any penalty.

  Note: If the offence alleged against you is an overloading offence, you should not make written submissions as to penalty as the penalty for the offence is fixed and may not be reduced by the court.

• 5 If you do not pay the infringement fee or the amount of the infringement fee remaining unpaid (including any towage fees) and do not request a hearing in respect of the alleged infringement offence where the request is received within 28 days after the service of this notice, you will become liable to pay costs in addition to a fine (unless the informant decides not to commence court proceedings against you). The fine will be equal to the amount of the infringement fee or the amount of the infringement fee remaining unpaid.

• 6 You will have a complete defence against proceedings relating to the alleged offence if the infringement fee or the amount of the infringement fee remaining unpaid (including any towage fees) is paid to the informant and received at the address shown on the front page of this notice before or within 28 days after the service of this notice on you. Late payment or payment made to any other address will not constitute a defence to proceedings in respect of the alleged offence.

• 7 The notes in this paragraph relate to stationary and moving vehicle offences only, and should be ignored if the offence alleged against you is not a stationary or moving vehicle offence.

• (1) Section 133 of the Land Transport Act 1998 provides that proceedings for a stationary or moving vehicle offence may be taken against 1 or more of the following persons:

  • (a) the person who allegedly committed the offence; or

  • (b) the person who, at the time of the alleged offence, was registered under Part 17 of the Land Transport Act 1998 in respect of the vehicle involved in the offence (or, if the offence is alleged to have been committed before the commencement of section 242 of that Act, a person who, at the time of the alleged offence, was registered as the owner, or 1 of the owners, of that vehicle in a register kept under section 18 of the Transport (Vehicle and Driver Registration and Licensing) Act 1986); or

  • (c) any person who, at the time of the alleged offence, was lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle involved in the offence (whether jointly with any other person or not),—

  whether or not (in the case of a person referred to in item (b) or item (c) of paragraph 7(1) above) the person was the driver, person in charge, or (in the case of a stationary vehicle offence) user of the vehicle at the time the alleged offence was committed and whether or not the person is an individual or a company or other body.

• (2) Where proceedings in respect of a stationary or moving vehicle offence are taken against you not as the person who allegedly committed the stationary or moving vehicle offence but as a person referred to in item (b) or (c) of paragraph 7(1), the acts or omissions of the driver, person in charge, or (in the case of a stationary vehicle offence) user of the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence are conclusively presumed to be your acts or omissions unless you establish the defence described in paragraph 7(4) below (with respect to stationary vehicle offences) or paragraph 7(5) below (with respect to moving vehicle offences).

• (3) You have a further defence (in addition to that indicated in paragraph 6 above) against proceedings relating to the alleged stationary or moving vehicle offence if—

  • (a) a reminder notice in respect of the offence has been filed in court, or particulars of a reminder notice in respect of the offence have been provided for filing in court, under section 21(3) or 21(3D) of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 in respect of another person; or

  • (b) a court has imposed on another person a fine, or costs, or both, in respect of the offence under the Summary Proceedings Act 1957.

• (4) Where the acts or omissions of another person are presumed to be yours (as set out in paragraph 7(2) above) you may overcome the presumption and have a complete defence (in addition to those indicated in paragraph 6 or paragraph 7(3) above) to any court proceedings against you for the stationary vehicle offence if you prove—

  • (a) that, at the time of the alleged offence,—

    • (i) you were not lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle (either jointly with any other person or severally); or

    • (ii) another person was unlawfully in charge of the vehicle; and

  • (b) you advised the enforcement authority in writing of this immediately after becoming aware of the alleged offence; and

  • (c) you did everything reasonably possible on your part to comply with all requests of the enforcement authority to supply information to that authority regarding the person who was lawfully entitled to possession, or who was in charge, of the vehicle, at the time of the alleged offence.

• (5) Where the acts or omissions of another person are presumed to be yours (as set out in paragraph 7(2) above) you may overcome the presumption and have a complete defence (in addition to those indicated in paragraph 6 or paragraph 7(3) above) to any court proceedings against you for the moving vehicle offence if you prove—

  • (a) that, at the time of the alleged offence,—

    • (i) you were not lawfully entitled to possession of the vehicle (either jointly with any other person or severally); or

    • (ii) another person was driving the vehicle; and

  • (b) you advised the enforcement authority in writing of this immediately after becoming aware of the alleged offence; and

  • (c) you gave to the enforcement authority a statutory declaration—

    • (i) identifying the driver, by giving the name and address of the driver or such other particulars within your knowledge as may lead to the identification of the driver; or

    • (ii) establishing that you could not identify the driver, after taking all reasonable steps to do so.

Note: Paragraph 7 above summarises section 133 of the Land Transport Act 1998. That section fully sets out the law regarding liability for stationary and moving vehicle offences.

• 8 When writing, please include the date of the infringement, the reminder notice number, the vehicle registration number [if shown on the front of this form], and your address for replies.
