It is estimated that drivers across Great Britain collectively received fines of £2.61billion for parking and traffic offences in the last financial year - in a record-breaking 12 months for motoring breaches.
In the very same period, more than 32 million requests were made for driver details from the DVLA.
Private parking companies are said to have made 8.57 million requests to the organisation following submissions of number plates across 2021 and 2022, while requests from local authorities - including councils and Transport for London (TfL) - exceeded 15.29 million, according to carwow.
