In the UK, drivers can be fined 150% of their weekly salary under new rules.
I suppose it is equitable in a way, even if it does punish the honest paye workers that actually delare their income more

A pal who works in a bank recently got a 1k speeding fine and three points (bringing him to 12)
Wouldnāt you think the stupid cunt would have learned his lesson by now.
You would indeed. Stupid cunt of a br Er pal
Yes I think this will finally deal with the problem of unemployed young buckos hurtling around country roads in the middle of the night in their modified Hondas. Theyāll be sick at the thought of a fine linked to their dole payment.
I donāt really mind the idea. Lower speed saves lives. I get that.
The devil is in the detail. But a few problems I have with it.
This was one of the issues the introduction of penalty points was supposed to address.
Multiple fines for speeding may not be a deterrent if youāre wealthy but accumulate enough points and youāre off the road.
The best deterrent for speed Iāvery seen is the point to point cameras which calculate average speed. Iād imagine it would be easy enough install. Unsure of any problems with it though.
signing in. Am still unsure if Iām getting penalty points or if I just got a talking to for driving too fast on the motorway Monday
How much over were you?
I was tipping a bit over the 160 at one stage but the Garda told me I was clocked at 148 - thankfully Iād slowed down a tad before the unmarked Hyundai noticed me. She didnāt show me the speed gun with reading, which a friend (in the know) told me she should have if there was a fine forthcoming
Had you a few pints in you?
None pal. On a drink ban until Sunday afternoon
Iām sure sheās well used to folk attempting to get out of Tipp as quick as they can and made allowances.
I was in Clareā¦
Perhaps the newer cars have the dash-mounted camera and they arenāt obliged to show it to you?
Iāve seen that silver Hyundai on the Tunnel road a few times.
Good going.
Iād pay that finee and takemy points. Youāre bordering on a dangerous driving charge there.
Youāll be done. They didnāt stop you for a chat.
Iād imagine I will but the lad who I chatted to since (who is a Garda) reckons that 148km isnāt too bad but Iām expecting a fine and 3 points any day now.
