Shame about the circumstances. Pay it, move on.

The infringement notice can be posted out afterwards. In my case that took over a week and so over a quarter of the 28 days mentioned below were lost.

When a notice is posted out officers adjust for the date of issue allowing a couple of days for postage, so you should always have 28 days more or less from the day you receive the notice (personal experience from a past life)
I only commented that the situation was "odd" as IME officers who intend to send out noticed later (quite common) will typically fully explain the situation to the driver including the penalty, 28 days period etc, so the driver leaves fully informed of what's coming...at least they are meant to!
savag3: I quite like going to the source for this kind of question. All of this kind of info can be found if you know where to look...
The offence is created by 8.3(3) of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004. The penalties are set out in schedule 1 of the Land Transport (Offences and Penalties) Regulations 1999 - search for 8.3(3) to find the correct entry. The offence is not listed in schedule 2 so there are no demerit points.

I think you are more likely to hit a pedestrian, that doesn't see you, than have an accident with a car when you don't have your lights on. Also it depends on how much street lighting there is. Obviously if it is dark and there is no street lighting, you can easily tell if you don't have your lights on, but sometimes when you are in the CBD which is well lit, it can be difficult to notice whether your lights are on or not, and other cars can easily see you.
iapple: Thanks,Have looked on the info and will prepare to pay $150 or will try to appeal first and then pay:)...thanks for the answers
