Provisions to remove the requirements to surrender a driving licence from fixed penalty, conditional offer and court processes for road traffic offences are included in the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (PCSCA).

The Act received Royal Assent on 28 April 2022 and the relevant provisions will commence via regulations later this year. The police, court services and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency are making the necessary changes to systems and processes to accommodate the change in the law.
