Glasgow LEZ — Doubling Reset After 90 Days
Glasgow LEZ penalties double for repeat contraventions in the same vehicle within 90 days, capped at £480 (cars/LGV) or £960 (HGV/bus). Where a repeat fine is issued more than 90 days from the previous contravention, the doubling is incorrect and the fine should reset to £60.
Legal basis
LEZ (Emission Standards, Exemptions and Enforcement) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 reg 14
How to identify this in your case
PCN states a doubled charge but the gap from the previous PCN at the same LEZ is 90 days or more.
Sample appeal wording
To: [Council] LEZ Penalty Charges Re: LEZ PCN [PCN_NUMBER] — Charge £[AMOUNT] You have applied a doubled charge for repeat contravention. However, my previous LEZ PCN at this LEZ was issued on [DATE_PREVIOUS] and the present alleged contravention is on [DATE_CURRENT], a gap of [DAYS] days — exceeding 90 days. Under reg 14 of the LEZ (Scotland) Regulations 2021, the doubling resets to the base £60 charge (£30 if paid within 14 days) where the gap exceeds 90 days. Please reissue at £60 or cancel. Yours faithfully, [Keeper Name]
