Fines can be divided into two main categories. You may be given a fine as part of various court orders or by a penalty notice. A penalty notice may be issued for a range of offences, including the common examples of driving through a red traffic light, driving above the speed limit,using public transport without a valid ticket and parking a vehicle outside permitted times or zones.
You can find further details about a penalty notice you have been given by visiting myPenalty and filling in the required details. This website will also provide more information about options for dealing with a penalty notice.
