Graduated fixed penalties
New legislation now enables Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) officers and police to issue fixed penalties at the roadside. Fixed penalties will be set at different amounts depending on the offence. Additionally, different levels of fixed penalty will be set for the same offence to reflect the level of offending.
Officers will be able to issue fixed penalty notices for the following categories of offence.
- Overloading
- Drivers' hours and tachograph records
- Roadworthiness and statutory testing
- Driver licensing
- European community authorisation and licences
- Vehicle excise duty
- Operator tools
