Title: UK - Higher speeding fines come into force next month
Post by: eye30 on March 13, 2017, 19:20:18

when the new guidelines are brought in next month, those caught driving at more than 101mph in a 70mph speed limit could be disqualified for up to 56 days and get a fine of between 125 and 175 per cent of their relevant weekly income.

Or if you are caught going between 31 and 40mph in a 30mph zone you will get three penalty points and a fine of between 25 and 75 per cent of your weekly income.

All very good in theory,  but not much incentive for those on benefits to slow down..
