The Courses Offered as an Alternative to Prosecution (Specified Fixed Penalty Offences) (Traffic) Regulations 2025
- Department: Home Office
- Made under: Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988
The 2025 regulations established a framework for alternative courses to prosecution for specific traffic offenses, defined approving bodies and fee allocation, and restricted course offerings for repeat offenders.
These regulations establish a system in England and Wales for offering approved courses as an alternative to prosecution for specified fixed penalty traffic offenses.
The regulations define eligible offenses, specify approving bodies (initially including police forces and UKROEd Limited, with police forces losing that power after two years), detail fee allocation percentages among policing bodies, course providers, and UKROEd, and prohibit offering courses to repeat offenders within three years of a prior offense.
The regulations come into effect on March 31, 2025.
