Caveat:
The statistics are provisional and are subject to revision.
Notes:
Data is for charges relating to identified unlicensed vehicle offences under Section 15 (3) of the Road Traffic Act 1974. Data may include charges that are not as a result of a vehicle stop. As all Police units, including Non-Traffic units, have the capability to do vehicle stops, therefore it is not readily possible to distinguish vehicle stop charges from non-vehicle stop charges preferred by non-traffic units.
Vehicle Stops are manually recorded by Police Officers in their Daily Traffic Returns and uploaded to TEACEIS.
