77.1. Where a peace officer ascertains the commission of an offence under a provision of this Act, a regulation or an order, he may serve a statement of offence on the driver with a notice enjoining the defendant to remedy the offence and to furnish proof thereof within 72 hours.
The statement of offence becomes null when the required proof is furnished to a peace officer within the time prescribed. It is incumbent upon the defendant to establish that he has remedied the offence within that time.
Where a notice is attached to the statement of offence, the time prescribed in article 160 of the Code of Penal Procedure (chapter C-25.1) begins to run only from the expiry of the time indicated in the notice.

An action may be brought against the offender if he does not remedy the offence within the prescribed time. The burden of proof is on the offender that he has remedied the offence within the prescribed time.
