Question
To ask the Scottish Government on how many occasions its vehicles have received penalties for speeding or driving in prohibited areas such as bus lanes in each of the last five years, broken down by type of offence and penalty.
Answer
A list of Penalty Charge (PCN) and Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) notices issued to Scottish Government vehicles for each of the last five years is provided in the following table.
The staff member driving the vehicle at the time of the alleged offense is personally responsible for any penalties incurred, therefore we do not hold this information.
