Motoring fine increasing

[mikeymack2002]

I was Googling today and found 2 stories which can be found here

 

 

http://recombu.com/digital/news/tv-license-fine-rises-to-4000_M13268.html

 

 

Forget it says about TV licensing in the title read the thread further down the link , the Government is proposing to increase motoring fines in 2015 to a horrible amount

 

"Other financial penalties being increased in the same proposals include those for motoring offenses. Speeding on a motorway will soon attract a maximum fine of £10,000, whilst breaking the speed limit on dual carriageways will attract a fine of £4,000"

 

Any thoughts please

If I understand things correctly, the fines will be means tested to ability to pay.

More than likely but the level is getting stupid, They (the debtors) will end up with EA's all over them in no time

That's right, that's how it is supposed to be done currently too.

Some people on the roads deserve to have the book thrown at them IMO.

Break the law, Deal with the punishment. It really isnt hard not to speed. If you find it hard to stay in full control of a car, perhaps do your lessons/test again, or buy a car suited to your abilities.
