A. If a defendant denies the allegations contained in the citation, the hearing officer shall promptly provide the defendant written notice that his right to be represented by counsel or by other designated representative is waived unless he notifies the hearing officer in writing at least five days prior to the hearing date of his election to be represented by counsel or by other designated representative. Such notice to defendant shall specify the appropriate place and manner for filing his notice of counsel or of other designated representative.
B. Absent extraordinary circumstances, failure of a defendant to timely notify the hearing officer of an election to be represented by counsel or other designated representative constitutes a waiver of the right to counsel or other designated representative.
