This Order amends the Fixed Penalty Order 2000 by adding a monetary amount for the fixed penalty prescribed for the offence under section 11 of the HGV Road User Levy Act 2013 (“the 2013 Act”).

The 2013 Act introduces a levy for using or keeping a heavy goods vehicle (“HGV”) weighing 12 tonnes or more on a public road in the UK. Section 11 of the 2013 Act makes it an offence to use or keep such a vehicle on a road in the UK without paying the appropriate levy. In order to enable cost-effective and proportionate enforcement of the levy, section 13 of the 2013 Act adds the offence in section 11 to the lists of offences in Schedule 3 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 for which fixed penalties may be issued by enforcement authorities in Great Britain. The monetary amount of each fixed penalty is set out in the Fixed Penalty Order 2000 (“the 2000 Order”).

Article 2 of this Order amends the Table in Schedule 1 to the 2000 Order to add the monetary amount for the fixed penalty offence under section 11 of the 2013 Act.
