(1) Notwithstanding the requirements of or provisions in any Act contained, it shall be lawful for any police officer to serve, either personally or by registered post, upon any person who is reasonably suspected of having committed any offence in connexion with the driving or use of any vehicle which is punishable only by a fine, or by a fine and imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months, a notice in the prescribed form requiring such person to attend court in answer to the charges stated thereon, at such place and on such date and time (which may be later in the day on which the notice is served or on any subsequent date) as are shown on such notice or to appear by advocate or to enter a written plea of guilty:
Provided that—
(i) such notice shall be served not later than fourteen days from the date upon which the offence is alleged to have been committed;
(ii) failure to comply with this requirement shall not be a bar to the conviction of the accused in any case where the court is satisfied that the name and address of the accused could not with reasonable diligence have been ascertained in time for such notice to be served as aforesaid, or that the accused by his own conduct contributed to the failure.
(2) Such notice as aforesaid shall for all purposes be regarded as a summons issued under the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap. 75).
(3) A copy of such notice as aforesaid shall be placed before the court by which the charge is to be heard before the time fixed for such hearing.
