The Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) (Appropriate Amount) Order 2009
Part 3A of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 (“the Act”) was inserted by section 11 of the Road Safety Act 2006. It provides that, when a constable or vehicle examiner believes a specified offence has been committed relating to a motor vehicle, the constable or vehicle examiner may impose a financial penalty deposit on a person without a satisfactory UK address who has been given notice of likely proceedings or a fixed penalty notice (in Scotland, a conditional offer) in respect of an offence.
