Engagement plays a crucial role in road safety. Those stopped are given an option of immediately attending an educational session with the Fire and Rescue Service or accepting a fixed penalty. This is currently a £100 on the spot fine for a seat belt offence or £100 and 3 points on your licence for a speeding offence.
