Fine dodgers' motors seized

FINE defaulters faced a clampdown this week when a string of cars were seized as part of ongoing enforcement measures which are contributing to Scotland's highest ever fines collection rate.

A Fines Report published on Friday showed Scotland's fines collection rate has continued to rise under the newly independent Scottish Court Service (SCS) with sheriff court fines, either paid in full or on track by instalments, hitting an overwhelming 91 per cent.

To date, 14 high-profile car seizures have been carried out across Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Livingston.
