Drivers face £1,000 fine if they fail to tax motor
Drivers in Northern Ireland could face fines up to £1,000 if they fail to renew their motor tax.
Under new regulations launched on Monday, motorists who fail to tax their vehicles after 14 days will receive an automatic £80 fine in the post.
If this fine is paid within 28 days it is reduced to £40, however if it isn't paid the owner could be taken to court and face a possible fine of up to £1,000.
It is hoped that the new initiative will cut the number of untaxed vehicles in Northern Ireland when it comes into effect on 1 January 2004.
At present Northern Ireland has twice as many untaxed vehicles than any other region in the UK.
