This Order brings into operation the provisions of the Road Traffic (Northern Ireland) Order 2007 specified in the Schedule.

These provisions will enable the police and vehicle examiners to require the payment of a deposit by offenders who avoid payment of fixed penalty deposits and prosecution by not having a satisfactory address in the United Kingdom.
Article 13 and Schedule 1 provide for the immobilisation of vehicles that have been prohibited from driving and for the removal and disposal of such vehicles in accordance with Regulations.
