Drivers caught speeding will face tougher penalties of up to 175pc of their weekly income under new rules introduced on Monday.

 

Fines for serious offenders will start from 150pc of their weekly income rather than the current level of 100pc.

 

The fines are split into bands from A to C. The penalty depends on how fast motorists are driving above the speed limit.

 

 

There is a chart included in the article that gives some idea of the speed, band you will be caught up in and the level of fine.

 

I seriously doubt it will change the mentality of those who habitually speed - but it might make a shed load of money :)

 

Perhaps it can be ring fenced to upgrade our road network !

These changes are not so profound as some might believe.

The only change is to the top band of sentencing (more than 100mph in a 70 limit and the relevant thresholds for lower limits).

The guideline starting point was 100% of a week's net income.

From Monday it will be 150%.

Nothing else - including the points or disqualification recommendations - are changed.

The fixed penalty levels and thresholds (which are set by the police not the Sentencing Council) remain unaltered.

But before you celebrate with joy (and in case you didn't get the joke) if you tell the court you have no income firstly they will ask how you manage to run a car (and indeed indulge in all the other of life's little luxuries such as eating and drinking) with no money. If you say that somebody else is bankrolling you they may quiz you on just how much support that is providing. They then may decide that whoever is keeping you alive will have to pay your fines as well. If they are in a lenient mood they will assume that you have a minimum income of £120 per week and base the fines on that.

"I have no income. I'm living off the savings I made when I did have an income"

But, be prepared to show them the bank statements to prove it!
