Fixed penalty fines to rise to £90

More revenue raising from Cameron and his coalition of crooked *****!

 

Ahhhh, the ever increasing persecution of the great British motorist. *sigh*

Shooting fish in a barrel.

 

You speed and get caught - You pay. Quite simple really.

 

You never break the speed limit - whether by accident or design?

If/when you do, do you regard yourself as a danger to yourself and/or other road users/pedestrians?

 

Should round it up to a ton


Except for people on the phone , who should be horse whipped as well

 

Never said I didn't. If I get caught though, it's my own fault.

 

Agreed.

 

Pity the revenue never seems to go into fixing the ******* roads

 

50% increase, must be following the pay rise trend over the last few years

TX.

 

Agreed.

...But it's the principle of the perpetual persecution of the motorist simply because they're a readily-available, 'easy-to-catch' target in their millions = #ker-ching#.

'Safety' my ****.

 

Hopefully this "consultation" on this proposal will disagree - not likely though

 

Think you ned to read the link lads, this isn't just about speeding, but extending it to careless driving, passing on the nearside, taligating or even braking suddenly. It is also about making it easier (less paperwork) for the police to issue tickets.

What better way to rasie some more money for the politicians''s fraudulent expense claims to be paid out than to make ticket issuing easy and include a raft of very subjective offences in the list for which a ticket can be issued.

I believe it is also soon to be extended to wearing a loud shirt in a built up area, loitering with inetnet to use a zebra crossing and being in possession of an ugly wife*

Please can they make the fine £1,000 for driving in the third lane of a four lane motorway, when one, if not two lanes to their left are free. Either that or a firing squad.


Personally i don't see why £90 is a bad idea, especially if it could be proved that the revenue went into the roads. Mobile phone use ought to be £150 in my opinion, and texting personally i'd make it £500 and an automatic ban.

 

There are many ways to look at this, whether it's comparing it to inflation and showing that it's a large hike in cost. Or the fact that it shouldn't really matter because unless you go out and get fined regularly it shouldn't effect you.

Personally I don't have a problem with it. If you don't break the law then you don't get fined. No problem.

 

Nope........no such thing as hypothecated taxation / fines in the UK. It all goes into one big pot

Is the any evidence that speed cameras and other devices reduce road accidents and deaths?

 

"offensive wife"



"...A Mr... Co-do-gooo?! Of 55 Mercer Road..."

I better not mention the rest.

 

Usually committed by quite fit looking hairdresser type birds so a seperate lottery for male tax payers to do the whipping.

 

And you last saw a copper driving around to issue these fines when, exactly?
I very rarely see one, but I regularly see driving behaviour that warrants the increased fine.

 

Being in posession of an ugly wife is punishment enough in itself, shirely?

 

Also, don't call f1_fan Shirley

 

He didn't

 

Meanwhile driving without insurance has the fines raised to a massive £300 a pop - not much of a deterrent if the crim is saving severalteen hundred pounds a year on their policy!

mb

 

But there is a high almost certain probability of a ban too (unless they decided to ignore that too!) I hate un insured drivers !

 

The person who needs to read your link is YOU! But since you didn't seem capable of grasping the salient points by yourself first time round, I'll highlight them for you now.

Firstly, it says "motoring fines may rise to £90".

Second, it says "Ministers are seeking views from the public on the proposals, which would apply to England, Scotland and Wales, before deciding whether to pursue them."

To sum up then, if you were really bothered, your time in launching this thread would have been far better spent in putting forward your views on the consultation website, and encouraging the rest of us to do the same.

Sermon over, amen


ps
Personally I look forward to the day where d!ckheads who sit up my @rse on the motorway or other roads when I'm already driving as fast as conditions allow get stung in the pocket for their exceptional moronicness.

 

So do I, but whenever I get said moron on the bum end of my car, there is never any law about. Yet when I am on a quiet road, possibly going 3 over the 30 limit with not a soul in sight, lily law is hiding in the bushes.

 

If you want to waste yet more of your time writing another load of your usual dull useless nonsense then that is up to you

Ah so you do ...

Sorry but for a minute their I actually believed you had been suckered by your beloved Tories into thinking your views might actually be listened to and that they haven't like all governments decided already exactly what they are going to do.

F**k me, you have... you really are that stupid!

Sermon, more like a wet behind the ears fifth former's essay

Maybe your driving ability like your reasonaing ability is just that poor that they could drive much faste than you quite safely in which case why not get out of their way?

Just saying

 

EFA.

 

Whatever you thick ****!

 

I bow to the man's obviously superior intellect and wit
