Question juridique clé
Whether the ordinary procedure had to be opened when the traffic offender offered to pay the ticket in installments.
Solution extraite
Yes. The Traffic Ticket Act provides only a 30-day payment period; installment payments are not provided for, so failure to pay in full on time justifies opening ordinary proceedings.
Motifs extraits
The wording, purpose, and legislative history of Art. 6 OBG show that the simplified procedure requires full and timely payment. Art. 35 StGB does not apply because the OBG is a special rule that exhaustively governs payment in this context.
