(a) For a traffic infraction, the burden of proof shall be upon the people, and the court shall enter judgment in favor of the defendant unless the people prove the guilt or liability of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.

(b) If the defendant is found guilty or liable, the court shall assess an applicable penalty and such additional costs and fees as are otherwise generally imposed in noncivil municipal offenses, together with applicable surcharges.

(c) The judgment shall be satisfied upon payment to the clerk of the municipal court of the total amount assessed.

(d) If the defendant fails to satisfy the judgment upon the finding of guilt or liability or within the time of a reasonable extension granted upon a showing of good cause by and upon the application of the defendant, such nonpayment in the full amount of the penalty, fees, costs, and surcharges, if applicable, shall be treated as a default. A default shall be certified to the state motor vehicle division for enforcement action. (Code 1979, § 37-149; Ord. No. 95-86, exhibit A (§ 37-149), 10-9-1995)
