‘(1) The road transport authority may serve an infringement notice (within the meaning of this Act) under section 24 (Service of infringement notices generally) or 36 (Service of infringement notices on responsible persons for vehicles) for—

‘(2) This Act applies to an infringement notice offence, a parking infringement or a prescribed offence mention in subsection (1)—
(a) as if a reference in Part 3 (Infringement notices for certain offences) of this Act to an infringement notice offence (however expressed) were a reference to the infringement notice offence, parking infringement or prescribed offence; and
(b) all other necessary changes were made to apply this Act to the offence or infringement.
‘(3) In addition, in applying this Act to a parking infringement mentioned in paragraph (1) (b), the words ‘, and may be convicted of and punished for the offence' in subsection 37 (1) are taken to be omitted.
