46 General (1) An act or omission may constitute an offence against more than one regulation and incur a penalty for each offence. (2) An act or omission may constitute more than one offence against a regulation and incur a penalty for each offence. (3) For the purposes of subregulations (1) and (2), if one offence necessarily involves the commission of an offence that is lower in a hierarchy of offences and the penalty for the higher offence takes into account the hierarchy, an offender is not additionally liable for the penalty that would be incurred by committing the offence lower in the hierarchy. (4) If more than one traffic infringement notice is issued in respect of one offence, the offender may expiate the offence by paying the penalty shown on any one of the infringement notices served in relation to the offence.

Traffic Regulations 1999 29 (5) An offender may be prosecuted for an offence: (a) despite that no traffic infringement notice has been issued in relation to the offence; or (b) if a traffic infringement notice has been issued but later withdrawn in accordance with regulation 43, and nothing in this Division limits the amount of a fine or other penalty that may be imposed by a court in relation to the offence.
