Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order amends the Fixed Penalty Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/2792, “the 2000 Order”), which prescribes fixed penalties for fixed penalty offences. That Order is amended by adding an amount for a new fixed penalty offence which has been specified as such by the Fixed Penalty Offences Order 2013. The new fixed penalty relates to the offence of driving a 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.
This Order also amends the 2000 Order by altering the amount of the fixed penalty prescribed for certain offences, including graduated fixed penalties.
