The operator against whom a claim or demand is made or an action instituted, arising out of the operation or use of any motor vehicle, equipment or apparatus to which this article relates, shall promptly give written notice thereof to the governing body of the local unit. If an action is instituted against him he shall also move promptly as a third party plaintiff to name the local unit as third party defendant in that action.
