A. Any person who violates or fails to comply with any provision of this Chapter shall be guilty of an infraction, which shall be punishable by a fine, only, as set forth in § 1.01.045 of this Code, except where otherwise expressly provided in this Chapter that a violation may be charged as a misdemeanor.
B. Any violation which would otherwise be an infraction is a misdemeanor if a defendant has been convicted of three or more violations of this Chapter within the 12-month period immediately preceding the violation and such prior convictions are admitted by the defendant or alleged in the accusatory pleading. For this purpose, a bail forfeiture shall be deemed to be a conviction of the offense charged.
