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

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).

Then fixed penalties should be abolished and make the fines be based on what the judge see's as best fits your pay packet, That means then that the unemployed get away with nothing to pay as they dont earn
A fine is a fine and just because you work does not mean you should be hit harder than someone who does not work. ?
