Traffic Fines and Penalty Points
Traffic fines and penalty points are related but separate. The Fourth Schedule states the fixed fines, while the Third Schedule identifies the offences for which penalty points may be allocated.
Where an offence is covered by the Penalty Points System, points may be recorded in addition to the fine. Drivers should therefore check both the applicable fine and whether penalty points apply.
