(1) Magistrates courts data only. Fines given at the Crown court total nationally (England and Wales) less than 10 each year.
(2) An offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988 s. 143 (2)
(3) As from 1 June 2003, driving a motor vehicle while uninsured against third party risks became a fixed penalty offence.
Notes:
1. It is known that for some police force areas, the reporting of court proceedings in particular those relating to summary motoring offences may be less than complete.
2. Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
