Notes

• S192B not yet implemented.

• S200 – Even if the offence has been compounded

• State Government may require the offender to undertake a period of community service.

• Compounding of an offence will not discharge the offender from proceedings under sub-section (4) of section 206 or the obligation to complete a driver refresher training course, or the obligation to complete community service, if applicable.

But since S206(4) not implemented yet,we cannot proceed with disqualification for violationof S190/194C/194D/194E
