Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Defects in Northern Ireland

DVA enforcement officers can issue roadside fixed penalties for mechanical defects on freight, bus and commercial vehicles.

DVA

Mechanical defects are roadside enforcement offences

DVA lists mechanical defects among the freight and bus offences that can attract fixed penalties.

POINTS

Where the particular graduated fixed-penalty offence is endorsable, NI guidance says between three and six penalty points should be expected.

EXACT PENALTY

Different vehicle defects can fall under different statutory requirements, so the exact fixed penalty or endorsement depends on the defect found.
