HC Deb 29 April 2002 vol 384 c564W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will make it his policy that persons who abandon vehicles receive penalty points on their driving licence. [52591]

Mr. Jamieson

Abandoning a vehicle is a criminal offence carrying a maximum penalty of a £2,500 fine, six months' imprisonment, or both. We have no plans to change those penalties.
