By calling it a "victims' surcharge" and applying it to minor motoring offences and parking tickets where there are clearly no victims, the Government is making a mockery of the tax system.

'This is clearly another stealth tax designed to plug Britain's huge debt.'
I have to disagree with part of that statement... Parking offenses can cause victims.. On the road i live in we have a doctors surgury and people have a habbit of parking on the double yellow lines and across the slopes in the pavements meant for wheel chair users to get on and off the pavements and late last year a woman in a wheel chair couldnt get off the pavement and fell out of her wheel chair because of this.
