LesterRam Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 so the new rules are linked to earnings, so the unemployed and the rich through clever accountancy win again, the Labour party are so intellectually challenged they have failed to challenge another new law, taxation on the working classes once again and don't give me that ******** about speeding, if taxation is important why don't they pick on tax avoidance and benefit cheats that are destroying this Country? my Tory vote is now an abstention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Having thought about this, I think the band b and band c fines are fair enough. Going at those speeds is not accidental its a deliberate act. However, for the band a fines, i think its very easy to accidentally speed at lower levels and 50% of your weekly income is a lot for a mistake. However if we are going to do this, then fine, but lets also fine people who do delibrate acts like using mobiles phones 500% of your income, its far more dangerous than speeding. Lets also fine those who litter 500% of their weekly income, also a deliberate act which can be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Going to be a big fine sooner or later for a top level footballer. Not that it would bother them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus of course, you'd have all those self employed people declaring their weekly income as £4.75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the point i dont get, so if you are a pensioner for example for 1 million pounds in the bank.....what do you get fined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesterRam Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 the amount of speed cameras on newly widened motorways is unbelievable, the four lanes around trowell services was another cash cow paid by the motorist twice, through taxation and speeding.

Only if you're speeding and don't know where the cameras are. Also the lights have to be flashing a speed limit for them to be activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like travelling at 50mph when all lanes are empty and some egotistical camera operator with a small willy wants to slow me down, motorways and dual carriageways are 70mph thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Some gantries have cameras others haven't but around Trowell they only work when a speed limit is in force. It makes sense to stick to the suggested limits to avoid congestion or possibly a pile up. Guess who's been on a speed awareness course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
