within 30 days of the commission of the offence a summons for the offence was served on him; or
(c)
within the said 30 days a notice of the intended prosecution specifying the nature of the alleged offence and the time and place where it is alleged to have been committed was served on or sent by registered post to him or to the person registered as the owner of the motor vehicle at the time of the commission of the offence.
(2) Failure to comply with the requirement of subsection (1) shall not be a bar to the conviction of the accused in any case in which the court is satisfied that —
