Available information from 1997-2004 (latest available) is provided in the following tables. 2005 data will be available next year.
The information collected by my Department identifies the number of motoring offences fixed penalty notices issued by result at police force area level. Data are collected on the disposal (i.e. paid, fine registration certificate issued etc.). However because of the time taken for the procedures for payment to be enforced the data are collected approximately nine months later than the period of issue and published in the following year’s annual volume covering motoring offences.
Motoring offences fixed penalty notices data are submitted to my Department on a calendar year basis from police forces. The data do not contain a month by month breakdown.
