408.03 VIOLATIONS OF CHAPTER 452.
   Unless specifically provided for otherwise therein, whoever violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of Chapter 452 shall be subject to a fine of ten dollars ($10.00), provided payment of the same is made within forty-eight hours of the issuance of the citation or said payment is postmarked within forty-eight hours of the citation and mailed to the Clerk of Courts. If payment is made after forty-eight hours but at least twenty-four hours prior to the assigned court date, the citation may be waived for the amount of the court costs only. Such payments shall be deemed a plea of guilty, waiver of court appearance and acknowledgment of conviction of the alleged offense and may be accepted in full satisfaction of the prescribed penalty for such alleged violation. Anyone failing to pay within twenty-four hours of the Court date shall appear in the Olmsted Falls Mayor’s Court on the date specified to answer to the charge.

408.04 SUSPENSION OF DRIVER’S LICENSE.
   Except as otherwise provided in Ohio R.C. 4510.07 or in any other provision of the Ohio Revised Code, whenever an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of a municipal ordinance that is substantially similar to a provision of the Ohio Revised Code, and a court is permitted or required to suspend a person’s driver’s or commercial driver’s license or permit for a violation of that provision, a court, in addition to any other penalties authorized by law, may suspend the offender’s driver’s or commercial driver’s license or permit or nonresident operating privileges for the period of time the court determines appropriate, but the period of suspension imposed for the violation of the municipal ordinance shall not exceed the period of suspension that is permitted or required to be imposed for the violation of the provision of the Ohio Revised Code to which the municipal ordinance is substantially similar.
