Without prejudice to any proceedings for an offence committed under section 3 or 4 or any other law, where a derelict vehicle is left or caused to be left in a public place in such circumstances as to cause, contribute to or tend to the defacement thereof, an officer shall give notice to the person so leaving or causing the same to be left requiring him, within twenty-four hours of such notice, to remove the derelict vehicle so as to restore the public place to a condition satisfactory to the officer.
Whoever fails to comply with a notice under subsection (1) is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of five hundred dollars and to a further fine of one hundred dollars for every day during which the failure is continued after conviction, and an officer shall, without prejudice to his right to take proceedings for a fine in respect of such failure, remove the derelict vehicle so left or caused to be left, and the Crown may recover summarily as a civil debt from the person in default the expenses reasonably incurred in so doing.
