Nothing  contained in this chapter shall   affect or impair any act done or right accruing, accrued or acquired, or   any penalty, forfeiture or punishment incurred prior to  the  time  when   this  chapter  shall take effect, under or by virtue of the provision or   provisions of the vehicle and traffic law, as in force immediately prior   to the time this  chapter  shall  take  effect,  but  the  same  may  be   asserted,  enforced,  prosecuted  or inflicted, as fully and to the same   extent as if this chapter shall not have taken effect.2. An act of the legislature of the year nineteen  hundred  fifty-nine   or  nineteen hundred sixty which, in form, adds or purports to add a new   article, section, subdivision or other provision of law to  the  vehicle   and  traffic law, as in force immediately prior to the time this chapter   shall take effect, shall be legally effective notwithstanding the repeal   of such law by this chapter and shall be deemed and construed as  having   been  added  to this chapter and shall be given full effect according to   its context as if the same had been added expressly and in terms to this   chapter and shall be deemed and construed to have been inserted in  this   chapter  in  the  appropriate  respective  position  in regard to and as   modifying the effect of the corresponding  provision  or  provisions  of   this chapter.3.  Any act of the legislature of the year nineteen hundred fifty-nine   or nineteen hundred sixty which, in form, amends or repeals or  purports   to amend or repeal any provision or provisions of the former vehicle and   traffic  law  shall  be  legally effective notwithstanding the repeal of   such former vehicle and  traffic  law  by  this  chapter  and  shall  be   construed  as  an  amendment  or  repeal  as  the  case  may  be, of the   corresponding provision or provisions of this  chapter  irrespective  of   whether  such  provision  or provisions are contained in this chapter in   one or more than one article, section, subdivision or other part thereof   and such corresponding provision  or  provisions  shall  be  deemed  and   construed  to  be  amended,  modified, changed or repealed as though the   same had been expressly and in terms so amended or repealed.4. Reference in any act  of  the  legislature  of  the  year  nineteen   hundred  fifty-nine  or  nineteen  hundred sixty to an existing article,   section, subdivision or other provision of the vehicle and traffic  law,   as  in  force  immediately  prior  to  the  time this chapter shall take   effect, shall be deemed and construed  to  refer  to  the  corresponding   article,  section,  subdivision  or  other  provision  of  such  law, as   renumbered, modified or amended by this chapter.5. The provisions of this chapter in so far as they are  substantially   the same as the existing provisions of the vehicle and traffic law shall   be  construed  as a continuation of the provisions of the former vehicle   and traffic law and not as new enactments.6. This chapter shall not affect pending actions or proceedings, civil   or criminal, but the same may be prosecuted  or  defended  in  the  same   manner  and  with  the  same  effect as though this chapter had not been   passed.
