Heard on the news first thing that there are proposals to increase Court fines by 300% - thats a huge increase.

I believe that currently a maximum speeding fine is £2500, which could increase to £10,000.

Yet again the motorist is going to take the brunt of changes!

Can't see how then can fine someone £10k for speeding that's like a years salary for part time workers. Surely they will have to means test the person

Seems ludicrous to me that for "just" speeding, which to be honest we all do, you potentially get punished more than if you do other more serious crimes.

Said it time & time again, the motorist is an easy target & our so called Justice system needs a complete overhaul.

Vote Clive for Justice Minister !!!
