If you are on income support what the point of a £2000 fine with no chance of it being repayed? Must be better to make it £100 then have some chance of getting it off the offender.

I think you'll find that the level of fine has always been based on the offenders ability to pay anyhow.

You never get the chance of getting it off the true offender Rock!...
The problem is it IS the upstanding citizen that will always pay the fine because they know that they went a couple of miles over the speed limit. It's the f**** that drive over the speed humps outside my house, in front of a school at 60 mph in a nicked car, smoking a spliff that wont pay their fines!
That's why it pees so many people off!
Yes I had 6 points...Once. I paid my fine.
I had a 6 month old in the car on both occasions...keeping up with the flow of traffic. I just happened to be at the back of the queue!
