Speeding fines to increase this April

Post by Trish »

They are clamping down on speeding by increasing the fines.
While you can get fined 100% of your weekly income now, that can increase to 150% in April.
The best thing to do is drive at the speed limit or else you will pay more.
The thing is speed limits are there for a reason - road safety for all!
Time to get those boy racers off the road me thinks.

When I drive down Grindon lane in the early hours at 20mph what does this achieve?

Why speed anyway?
Just prepare in good time!
