The Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Interest) Order 2009
This Order provides for the calculation of interest for the purposes of Part 3A of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (c. 53) (“the 1988 Act”), as inserted by section 11 of the Road Safety Act 2006 (c. 49). Part 3A provides that, in certain circumstances, a constable or vehicle examiner may impose a financial penalty deposit on a person without a satisfactory UK address who has been given either notice of likely proceedings or a fixed penalty notice (in Scotland, a conditional offer) in respect of a road traffic offence. The amount of the deposit (defined as the “appropriate amount” in section 90B(2) of the Act) is set out in the Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/492).
