New Measures to Tackle Non-UK Drivers Who Break Road Traffic Laws

24 July 2008 |

3 Comments

Non-UK drivers and hauliers who flout the rules of the road face being fined and having their vehicles immobilised under new road safety proposals published today by Road Safety Minister Jim Fitzpatrick. Drivers resident outside the UK will not be able to escape punishment under the new system which will give Police and examiners from the Vehicle Operator and Services Agency (VOSA) the power to collect on-the-spot penalties from anyone without a satisfactory UK address from next year. They will also be able to issue penalty points against a non-UK driver's record for endorsable offences.
