(a) Whoever violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Traffic Code for which no penalty is otherwise provided shall be fined twenty-five dollars ($25.00) and, in default of the payment thereof and costs, may be imprisoned for a number of days equal to one day for each ten dollars ($10.00) of the unpaid balance of the fine and costs.
(b) Whoever violates Section 420.03 shall be subject to the penalty provided in Section 202.99 of the Administration Code.
(c) Any person charged with a violation of any provision of this Traffic Code for which payment of a prescribed fine may be made, may pay such sum in the manner prescribed on the issued traffic ticket. Such payment 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. Payment of the prescribed fine need not be accepted when laws prescribe that a certain number of such offenses shall require court appearance.
