Salut RobG10 !
The word contravention can be used with either donner or mettre - both are fine.
I hope that that is helpful!
Jusqu'à la prochaine fois !

Salut OwenM8 !
Quelle malchance ! But this is a good point: it's also possible to also use recevoir when talking about une contravention.
À la prochaine !
