EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Road Traffic Fixed Penalties (Enforcement of Fines) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1997 (“the Regulations”) (S.R.1997 No.344) to:
make specific provision for the enforcement of an unpaid fixed penalty notice against a defaulter who appears to reside in England, Wales or Scotland;
substitute references to “Chief Constable” with “relevant person” to reflect current practice which allows either the Chief Constable or the Department of the Environment to register an unpaid fixed penalty for enforcement; and
make a number of amendments to the Form to reflect the amendments made in the body of the Regulations.
