Fixed Penalty Notice
A fixed penalty notice (FPN) is a fine issued for vehicle defects identified during roadside checks or police stops. Tyre-related FPNs typically carry a £100 fine and three penalty points per defective tyre. For commercial vehicles, FPNs can be issued to both the driver and the operator, making tyre compliance a shared responsibility across the transport chain.
