Motorists are Victims of Hike in Fines

The Government have changed speeding fines to £100 to raise £50 million a year to help crime victims. Before these fines were raised, the Crime Victims’ Fund raised up to £10 million a year. The Administration hope that this will lead to criminals being unable to claim compensation. Also those victims who suffer from minor injuries will no longer be compensated. People speeding should realise that speeding fines will rise more than 60%, around £20 of this fine will go to the Crime Victims’ Fund. Motorists caught driving whilst on the phone, not wearing a seatbelt or speeding will see their fine to rise from £80 to £100. Motorists who undertake, cut up other vehicles or tailgate may just be handed this fixed penalty instead of going to court. HSandCo are specialists at dealing with these cases. In your defence.
