Fixed Penalty Notice motoring fines may rise to £90

Fines for motoring offences such as speeding should be increased from £60 to £90, the government suggested as it launched a consultation on the subject.

...drivers caught tailgating, braking suddenly, or passing a vehicle on the nearside might face a fixed penalty notice in future, like many speeders today.

Fixed penalty notices for driving without insurance should also be raised, from £200 to £300, the document adds, "to reflect the seriousness of the offence".

Ministers are seeking views from the public on the proposals, which would apply to England, Scotland and Wales, before deciding whether to pursue them.

I see so many idiots on the road these days that £90 seems a trivial ammount, but I think it's about time for penalties to be set according to income or it hits the poorest hardest (as usual).
