will be dealt with equally in that they receive the same penalty for ike offences; there is no prosecution and, therefore, no fine, court costs or conviction. However, the relatively low penalties are a disincentive to contest cases where the drivers are not in the wrong or where the circumstances of the offence have significant mitigation. Moreover, a driver's means are not taken into account, since the penalty amounts are fixed by law.
If drivers pay their fixed penalties for endorsable offences, eg defective vehicles, then they must receive three penalty points on their licence for some offences where magistrates are not permitted to issue points if the drivers prove they did not know or had reasonable cause to suspect that the offences would be 1 committed or the use of the vehicle involved a danger of injury to any person.
