I may be misunderstanding. May I query the structure once more and then come to subsection (7)? As I read the structure of chapter I, a person is given a penalty notice under Clause 2. Then clause 4 comes into action. It states:
``This section applies if a penalty notice is given to a person (``A'') under section 2.''
A then asks to be tried. He has already said that he wants to be tried. He has not yet been given a warning notice.
A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.
Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.
During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.
When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
