The provisions of this article, except section 28-89, correspond substantially to acts or omissions each of which constitutes a civil
infraction under the terms of Public Act No. 300 of 1949 (MCL 257.1 et seq.), including
Public Act No. 510 of 1978 (MCL 257.1 et seq.), and therefore shall be processed as
a civil infraction under the procedures set forth in such acts. Violation of any provision
of this article, except section 28-89, is a civil infraction and is not a crime and shall not be punishable by imprisonment
or a penal fine. A civil infraction shall not be considered a lesser included offense
of any criminal offense. If a person is determined to be responsible or responsible
"with explanation" for a civil infraction under this article, the judge, referee,
or district court magistrate shall deal with the person under the procedures set forth
in such acts and may order such person to pay a civil fine of not more than $100.00
along with costs not in excess of $100.00, which may include all expenses, direct
and indirect, which the township has sustained in connection with the civil infraction.
In addition to any civil fine and costs ordered, the judge, referee, or district court
magistrate may order the person to attend and complete a program of treatment, education,
or rehabilitation. If a person fails to comply with an order issued pursuant to this
section within the time prescribed by the court, the driver's license of that person
may be suspended or that person might be found in civil contempt until full compliance
with that order occurs.
