O. 
If a vehicle or combination of vehicles is operated in violation of this section, an appearance ticket or summons may be issued to the registrant of the vehicle or, if a combination of vehicles, to the registrant of the hauling vehicles, rather than the operator. In the event that the vehicle is operated by a person other than the registrant, any appearance ticket or summons issued to the registrant shall be served upon the operator, who shall be deemed the agent of the registrant only for the purpose of receiving such appearance ticket or summons.

Proof of mailing to the registrant under this section shall be filed with the court in which the appearance ticket or summons is returnable on or before the return date. A failure of a corporate registrant to appear or answer upon arraignment or trial shall constitute a default which shall result in the entry of a civil judgment in an amount corresponding to the amount of fine for a violation of this section.

P. 
In any case wherein the charge laid before the court alleges a violation of this section, any plea of guilty thereafter entered in satisfaction of such charge must include at least a plea of guilty to a violation of one of the subsections of this section. No other disposition by plea of guilty to any other charge in satisfaction of such shall be authorized; provided, however, that if the prosecuting attorney, upon reviewing the available evidence, determines that the charge of a violation of this section is not warranted, he may consent, and the court may allow, a disposition by plea of guilty to that or another charge in satisfaction of such charge; provided, however, that the court must impose at least the minimum fine, as authorized in this section, for the offense.

NOTES:
1Where the total weight or axle weight or axle grouping weight is greater than 7% including enforcement scale tolerance in excess of the limits specified by a United States or New York State Department of Transportation excess weight permit, the permit shall, for the purposes of computing the fine, be deemed void, and the amount of the fine shall be determined in accordance with the maximum weight which would have been in effect for the operation of such vehicle if the permit to exceed such maximum weight had not been issued.
2 In connection with the weighing of a vehicle or combination of vehicles, if it is found that there is a violation of Subsection K and also Subsection I or J or both Subsections I and J of this section, there shall be a single fine imposed, and the maximum amount of such fine shall not exceed the highest fine that could be imposed under this section.
3 The court may impose any sentence authorized by this section; provided, however, that any such sentence must include a fine as provided in this section.
4 All fines collected as a result of the above schedule shall remain the property of the Village of Lynbrook.
R. 
Service of summons. If a vehicle or combination of vehicles is operated in violation of this section, an appearance ticket or summons may be issued to the registrant of the vehicle or, if a combination of vehicles, to the registrant of the hauling vehicle rather than the operator. In the event the vehicle is operated by a person other than the registrant, any appearance ticket or summons issued to the registrant shall be served upon the operator, who shall be deemed the agent of the registrant for the purpose of receiving such appearance ticket or summons. Such operator-agent shall transmit such ticket or summons to the registrant of the vehicle or hauling vehicle. If the registrant does not appear on the return date, a notice establishing a new return date accompanied by a copy of the summons or appearance ticket shall also be mailed by certified mail by the court to the registrant at the address given on the registration certificate for the vehicle or, if no registration certificate is produced at the time the appearance ticket or summons is issued, the address of the registrant on file with the Department of Motor Vehicles or given to the police officer issuing the appearance ticket or summons. Whenever proceedings in court result in a conviction for a violation of this section, and the court has made the mailing specified herein, the court shall levy a mandatory surcharge in addition to any sentence permitted by law in the amount of $30. This mandatory surcharge shall be paid to the Clerk of the Court. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to owner- operators of any motor vehicle which is registered in the name of a person whose principal business is the lease or rental of motor vehicles or trailers unless the motor vehicle or trailer is being operated by an employee of the registrant.
