   (a)   The owner of a vehicle being operated in violation of Section 424.02 may request a hearing by the respond-by date on the Notice of Violation (fifteen days from the date of issuance), to challenge the evidence or set forth an applicable defense. The Notice of Violation shall constitute evidence of the facts contained in the notice and is admissible in any proceeding alleging a violation of Section 424.02. The Notice of Violation shall be prima facie evidence of a violation, subject to rebuttal on the basis of the defenses established in Section 424.03.
   (b)   The owner's failure to appear at the hearing will result in a finding of liability. In the event of a failure to appear, a "Findings, Decision and Order" letter will be sent to the owner. The owner's failure to pay the amount by the date specified in that letter will result in a final determination.
