Use this module to keep a clear audit trail of fines, track payments, and identify repeat offenders or problem areas.

## Filters

* **Search** -- search by vehicle VRN, driver name, or fine type.
* **Status** -- filter by fine status (Raised, Paid, Refuted, Archived).
* **Date Range** -- filter fines by date.
