Major Change for Drivers on some Roadside Fines for 14 Offences
- On Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the UK government body responsible for driver and vehicle regulation implemented a new system for paying roadside fines nationwide.
- The change occurred because the DVSA started using a new payment processor intending to simplify the fines payment process.
- Drivers can now pay fines, or Fixed Penalty Notices , using Apple Pay and Google Pay at the roadside for offences like vehicle defects, driver hours, and licensing breaches.
- Fines vary between £50 and £300 based on the seriousness of the offence, apply to both UK and overseas drivers, and the DVSA noted that the new payment method is often more convenient than traditional card payments, particularly when using a mobile phone.
- This update could improve payment efficiency for millions, enabling smartphone use to settle various roadside offences and potentially reducing payment delays.
