New system for Glasgow drivers paying roadside fines
Glaswegian motorists are being urged to take note of a new system for paying roadside fines, which comes into effect this week. The Scottish Sun reports that the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has announced that from Wednesday, May 28, drivers will now be able to pay fines using Apple Pay or Google Pay, offering a quicker and more convenient option alongside standard card payments. READ MORE: DVSA analysis reveals top 10 most common driving test faults The update applies to Fixed Penalty Notices issued for various offences, including vehicle defects, breaches of drivers' hours regulations, immobilisation fees, and court deposits. The change follows a switch in the DVSA's payment processing provider. As a result, the online payment interface for card payments will look slightly different, though the process remains the same for users. Most drivers are unlikely to notice any major changes. A DVSA spokesperson told The Scottish Sun: "Many people will find this quicker and easier than a standard card payment, especially when using a mobile phone." The DVSA has the authority to issue roadside fines across the UK for issues relating to roadworthiness, driving hours, and licensing. These fines apply to both UK-based and foreign drivers. When a fine is issued, the DVSA will send a payment code via email and text, along with the amount due and a deadline. READ MORE: DVLA £1,000 driving fine warning over driving licence rule Failure to pay on time can lead to vehicle immobilisation, additional charges, or prosecution. Fines typically range from £50 to £300 per offence, and multiple fines can be issued at once. In more serious cases, vehicles may be immobilised until all issues are resolved and outstanding payments are made.
