The suggestion in the public domain is that the 14,700 referred to were not given the opportunity to pay the fixed charge notice but we now know that this is not the case for all 14,700. The commissioner said that in each and every case an offence had been committed but we have now established that in a lot of cases the offence was rectified. They had broken the law by speeding or some other offence but they complied with the law by paying the fixed charge notice and there was no offence at that point. That means the statement is inaccurate for a number of individuals.
