  5. Emphasis should be on 5mph over the 30mph speed limit. Safety partnership must rubbing their hands together in glee. Andy
     
  6. If you're referring to my comment, please take it the way it was intended; if he's got a history of Speed Awareness courses & he's still doing it then the fine might reflect that, as excessive as it appears on the face of it. But if this was a first offence and that's what he got then I'd agree that it seems mightily excessive and quite worrying. Hence I'd like to know the full circumstances.
     
  7. Well, (and i might be wrong here) - thought that a. 35 in a 30 would consitute and sp30 and, and sp30 would incur a fine (to which a ceiling heigh would be reached) - im 54 now....back in my twenties, i will happily admit that i "enjoyed bikes" i got banned twice, had countless sp30's one tott-up (a YY code from what i remember) always paid the fines and took it on the chin but i never, ever, got fined in a disproportionate way....but, that being said, times change....
     
  8. I do believe fines are now related to income rather than being a fixed amount.

  10. What’s a victim surcharge? Is that Charlie’s bit?
     
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victim_surcharge

    In the legal system of England and Wales, the surcharge, often referred to as a victim surcharge is a penalty applied to people convicted of offences, in addition to a conditional discharge, a fine, or a community or custodial sentence, in order to provide compensation for the victims of crime.[1][2]

    The surcharge is not paid directly to the criminal's victim, but is pooled and distributed through the Victim and Witness General Fund. The amount to be paid is specified by law, and courts have limited discretion to reduce the amount, or even to waive the surcharge, for defendants of limited means.[3] The law journalist Joshua Rozenberg has reported cases where a surcharge levied against a young person became the responsibility of their parents - even when a parent was the victim of the crime in question.[3]

    In some circumstances the Court may waive the Victim Surcharge where the Court orders compensation as part of the sentence. Additionally, the surcharge is not payable where the court is dealing with breach of a community order or breach of a suspended sentence or breach of a conditional discharge.

    The surcharge was first introduced in 2007.[2][4] From 1 September 2014, the discretion of magistrates' courts to apply additional custody days in lieu of the surcharge was withdrawn.
