# The Fixed Penalty (Amendment) (No. 3) Order 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Fixed Penalty Order 2000, which prescribes fixed penalties for the offences which are fixed penalty offences by virtue of section 51 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
The Order increases the fixed penalty from £30 to £60 for the offences under section 14 (seat belts: adults), 15(2) and 15(4) (restrictions on carrying children not wearing seat belts in motor vehicles) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and under section 59 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (failure to fix prescribed registration mark to a vehicle in accordance with regulations made under section 23(4)(a) of that Act).
The Order also revokes and replaces the Fixed Penalty (Amendment) (No. 2) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1363) because of a defect in that Order. It has been certified under regulation 6 of the Statutory Instruments Regulations 1947 that the printing and sale of copies of that Order are unnecessary in light of the fact that this Order will replace it before it comes into force.
