The first full month of Glasgow's new low emission zone saw nearly 6,000 penalty notices issued.
The zone, which operates 24 hours a day and all-year round, was conceived to tackle poor air quality and every non-compliant vehicle detected initially faces a fine of £60.
Of the 777 surcharged penalty notices issued for LEZ contraventions in July, 689 were for a second breach where the penalty rate was £120.Graham Simpson, Scottish Conservatives' transport spokesman, said: "The draconian implementation of Glasgow's LEZ is already hammering hard-pressed motorists during a cost-of-living crisis.
"To discourage entry into Glasgow's LEZ by vehicles which do not meet the emission standards, the penalty rate doubles with each subsequent breach.
