 PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBDIVISION, THE LESSEE OF SUCH VEHICLE ON  THE  DATE
 OF  SUCH  VIOLATION  SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE THE OWNER OF SUCH VEHICLE FOR
 PURPOSES OF  THIS  SECTION,  SHALL  BE  SUBJECT  TO  LIABILITY  FOR  THE
 VIOLATION  OF  SUBDIVISION  (D) OF SECTION ELEVEN HUNDRED ELEVEN OF THIS
 ARTICLE PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION AND SHALL BE SENT A NOTICE OF LIABILITY
 PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION (G) OF THIS SECTION.
