The number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates' courts for offences under sections 42 and 59 of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 in each year between 2011 and 2015 can be viewed in the table. From centrally collated data, it has only been possible to separately identify offences under individual sections of the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act from 2011 onwards.
