I've noticed that nothing's been mentioned about hogging the fast lane!
The fines seem to be designed to punish the poor, rather than the rich. £100 to some people is what they have to live on for a week. On the other hand, £100 could be what some people earn in an hour.
As BMW drivers are usually:
- Parked in the fast lane
- Speeding
- Tailgating up someone's arse with intent to break the speed limit in the fast lane
- Richer than most
- Not indicating when they need to be
there already seems to be a different law unto them anyway, so I say make it a healthy £10,000 for them with the option of having their car publicly crushed in front of them in Stafford town centre - a throwback to the gallows maybe?
Either that, or base the fine on their car's tax band or something.
