AI Summary

This includes an explanation of the law that allows these devices to be used, and importantly, that the violation will not be considered a conviction as an operator, will not be added to the person's driving record, and will not affect their insurance rates. The summons must also explain how a person can contest the violation and what the penalties are for failing to pay the civil penalty.
