A Bill to make provision in relation to the civil enforcement of speeding contraventions
House of Lords
5 May 2021
It would create a civil enforcement framework for speeding offences. Speeding contraventions would be dealt with by civil penalties rather than criminal prosecutions, with procedures for issuing penalties, paying fines and appealing, plus details on which authorities can enforce them. The aim is to streamline enforcement and reduce the burden on the criminal courts.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Lords. If it progresses, it would move to the Lords’ committee stage for detailed scrutiny, followed by the report stage and third reading, before moving to the Commons for consideration.
