Drivers who fail to pay their fines run the risk of their vehicles being clamped, taken into storage and ultimately scrapped or sold off, according to a warning from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS).

The Scottish Court Service (SCS) has been using its enforcement powers for non-payment of fines, with one Midlothian man jailed for non-payment recently while a Motherwell man was arrested as he attempted to board a flight to Sweden.
