Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE DEPARTMENT for Transport has asked for the industry's view on a proposed penalty amount of £300 for foreign drivers caught at the roadside who have failed to pay the HGV Road User Levy when it comes into force next April.

The question is part of a six-week consultation, launched on 26 September, relating to secondary legislation for the implementation of the HGV Road User Levy Act 2013. For offenders without a satisfactory UK address, a financial penalty deposit, set at £300, is being suggested. The deposit would be held for a specified period, during which the recipient of the fixed penalty notice may request a court hearing. The consultation closes on 7 November.
