If you have received a notice of offense for a company vehicle, you do not have to pay the fine immediately. You must first designate the driver of the vehicle or challenge the offense notice.

The approach varies depending on whether the vehicle registration certificate is issued in the name of the company or person who has registered the vehicle as a legal person.
