Safety Belts: Fixed Penalties
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many fixed penalty notices were issued for failure to wear a seat belt in each of the last five years.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Department for Transport does not hold the information requested.
The Home Office collects and publishes the relevant data on fixed penalty notices and other outcomes for motoring offences, including seat belt offences, for police forces in England and Wales.
The latest data can be found here: Police powers and procedures: Roads policing, to December 2024.
Data on fixed penalty notices issued for seat belt offences by year are published in table FPN_03 of the accompanying data tables.
