(2) Every person who, being required by section 7 of the said Act to give any such notice as aforesaid, fails to give such notice in accordance with the said section shall be liable to a fine of £5.

5. (1) The annual premiums payable in respect of contracts of insurance under the said Act for the year commencing on the 1st day of June, 1930, or for the year commencing on the same day in any subsequent year shall be as set out in Part I of the Second Schedule hereto.

(2) When a contract of insurance in respect of any motor-vehicle is entered into for a period of less than a year the amount of the premium as prescribed in the Second Schedule hereto shall be reduced by the one-twelfth part thereof for every complete month by which the term of the contract is less than one year.

(3) Any premiums hereafter becoming payable for any period expiring before the 1st day of June, 1930, shall be fixed in accordance with the Motor-vehicles Insurance (Third-party Risks) Regulations, 1929, and the Second Schedule thereto, as if these regulations had not been revoked.
