Part 3	Infringement notices for certain offences
Division 3.1	Preliminary
22	Purpose and effect of pt 3
	(1)	The purpose of this part is to create a system of infringement notices for certain offences against the road transport legislation and other legislation as an alternative to prosecution.
	(2)	This part does not—
	(a)	require an infringement or reminder notice to be served on a person; or
	(b)	affect the liability of a person to be prosecuted for an offence if—
	(i)	an infringement or reminder notice is not served on the person for the offence; or
	(ii)	the person does not comply with an infringement or reminder notice served on the person for the offence; or
	(iii)	an infringement notice served on the person for the offence is withdrawn; or
	(c)	prevent the service of 2 or more infringement notices on a person for an offence; or
	(d)	limit or otherwise affect the penalty that may be imposed by a court on a person for an offence.
23	Regulations about infringement notice offences
	(1)	A regulation may prescribe an offence, other than an offence for which a penalty of imprisonment may be imposed, for the dictionary, definition of infringement notice offence by—
	(a)	stating the offence; or
	(b)	referring to the provision creating the offence; or
	(c)	providing that all offences, or all offences except for stated offences, against an Act or subordinate law are infringement notice offences.
	(2)	Subsection (1) does not limit the ways that a regulation may prescribe an offence for that definition.
	(3)	A regulation may, for the dictionary, definition of infringement notice penalty, prescribe—
	(a)	an amount as the penalty payable by anyone for an offence if it is dealt with under this part; or
	(b)	different amounts as the penalties payable for different offences if they are dealt with under this part; or
	(c)	different amounts as the penalties payable for the same kind of offence committed by different people or in different circumstances if the offence is dealt with under this part.
	(4)	However, an infringement notice penalty prescribed for a person for an offence must not exceed the maximum fine that could be imposed by a court on the person for the offence.
	(5)	Subsection (3) does not limit the ways that a regulation may prescribe an amount for that definition.
Division 3.2	Infringement and reminder notices generally
24	Service of infringement notices generally
	(1)	If an authorised person believes, on reasonable grounds, that a person has committed an infringement notice offence, the authorised person may serve a notice (an infringement notice) on the person for the offence.
Note	For how documents may be served, see the Legislation Act, pt 19.5.

	(1)	If an infringement notice for an infringement notice offence is served on a person under section 36, the person on whom the notice is served is liable for the offence, and may be convicted of and punished for the offence, even though the person who actually committed the offence (the actual offender) may have been someone else.
	(2)	If the actual offender is not the responsible person (or a responsible person) for the vehicle at the time of the offence, subsection (1) does not affect the liability of the actual offender, but—
