484. Where a fine is not paid within the time prescribed in section 480 or is not payable under that section, the prosecuting party shall send a preliminary notice by mail to the contravener’s last known address. The notice indicates the nature of the infraction, the fine payable, which is the minimum fine, the amount of the costs fixed by regulation of the Government and, where that is the case, the number of demerit points entailed by conviction.
The fine is payable within the ten following days.
The fact that an infraction ticket is not issued does not prevent the prosecuting party from sending a preliminary notice to the contravener.
