I kinda want to say... if you don't speed, you won't have to pay the fine.

But I'll probably get torn apart

and for being on the phone and driving first offence £1000. fine second offence one year ban bring it on mr clarke...........

Don't speed then you don't need to worry about it. I know I am begining to sound like my old man.

£60 is nothing, not high enough and no deterrent. £199 might make everyone think twice before driving like a chav.
good idea - but no need to lie about where the money is going.

and yes - the current "mobile phone driver" penalty is nowhere near fitting for the crime. should be instant ban for using hand held phone while driving - it's as bad as being drunk behind the wheel - FACT!

i had no idea what the current fine was as i have never had one, I did think it was alot higher or means tested... Not bothered really, if you get caught you pay the fine, same as any other offence..

[madman]

Get on with it Mr C. And as for mobile phones.500 quid. But where are the cops to catch em, you never see em

Its not just the £60 fine though is it ,its the hike in Insurance costs for the next 5 yrs to be factored in as well.
