It follows extensive consultation with the public and criminal justice bodies
A new fixed penalty notice of £100 and three penalty points has been introduced to help tackle careless driving in Northern Ireland.
The new fixed penalty will improve the administrative process for the existing careless driving offence by providing proportionate justice for low level careless driving offences without the need for court proceedings, saving public money and time. The aim is to influence the future decisions of drivers, encouraging more careful driving and improved personal responsibility.
“It has the potential to make enforcement of this offence more effective and reduce instances of careless driving in the future. PSNI Chief Superintendent Sam Donaldson said: “We welcome the introduction of this new legislation which underlines our road safety messaging.
