'Under new regulations, from 24 April, drivers caught speeding could be fined a percentage of their weekly income (a minimum of £200) – and up to six points could be put on their licence. In this article, we explain the changes to the speeding penalties and how they could affect you.
The key questions around the new speeding penalty guidelines answered Speeders could be fined up to 175% of their weekly income Our handy chart helps you work out which fine band different speeds sit in How much could I be fined if I'm caught speeding after the new fine has been introduced? Depending on where you were speeding, and how fast you were going over the speed limit, the Sentencing Council's new regulations will put you into one of three bands. Band A offences are for those caught going up to 10mph faster than the speed limit Band B offences are for those caught going 11mph to 21mph faster than the speed limit Band C offences are for those caught going more than 21mph faster than the speed limit Depending on which band you fall into, you'll be fined a certain percentage of your weekly income. The percentage of your weekly income allocated to each band is just a starting point, and can increase based on the severity of your speeding offence. The highest percentage you can be fined is 175% of your weekly income. Based on the average UK income, this means you could be fined close to £1000. Are there any other changes? People caught speeding could also have points added to their driving licence or, alternatively, they could be disqualified from driving for up to 56 days. Again, this will depend on how fast over the speed limit the driver was going.'' https://www.lv.com/atheart/news/spee...ource=facebook My comment : this will happen here, as Plods want more revenue....
