Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the Road Safety (Financial Penalty Deposit) Order 2009. The 2009 Order, among other things, specified certain offences as ones in respect of which a financial penalty deposit may be imposed by a constable or vehicle examiner if certain conditions are met. This Order amends the 2009 Order by specifying, for those purposes, the offence, under section 59(1) of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994, of failing to fix a prescribed registration mark to a vehicle in accordance with regulations made under section 23(4) of that Act.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared and is available alongside the instrument on the OPSI website at www.opsi.gov.uk.
