Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Section 104 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 empowers a constable to fix an immobilisation device to an illegally parked vehicle and provides for a charge to be prescribed for the release of a vehicle from a device which has been affixed to it in accordance with the section. By virtue of the Vehicles (Charges for Release from Immobilisation Devices) Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/745) the prescribed charge is £30. These Regulations revoke the 1989 Regulations and prescribe a new charge of £32.
