(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order 2009 (the “Principal Order”). The Principal Order specifies the amounts of financial penalty deposits that may be imposed, where certain conditions are met, by constables and vehicle examiners, in relation to offences specified in an order made under section 90A of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (as inserted by section 11 of the Road Safety Act 2006).
The amendments made by this Order increase all the appropriate amounts of financial deposits (except those relating to parking offences) from £30 to £50, £60 to £100, £120 to £200 and £200 to £300. It also increases the appropriate amount from £300 to £500 in circumstances where a person has been given notification that it appears likely that proceedings will be brought against him. The appropriate amount in respect of any single occasion in circumstances where more than one financial penalty deposit requirement is imposed is also increased from £900 to £1500.
This Order also specifies the amount of £100 for the deposit for the fixed penalty offence of driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road or other public place without due care and attention, or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the road or place.
A full impact assessment has been prepared which relates to both this instrument and to the proposed Fixed Penalty (Amendment) Order 2013 which it is intended will increase most motoring fixed penalties including graduated fixed penalties. The impact assessment and an Explanatory Memorandum are available alongside the instrument on the UK Legislation website, www.legislation.gov.uk.
