Rejected petition Fines involving vehicles

More details

Fines will be both fairer and more effective if the sentencing authorities consider the offender's ability to pay rather than simply the gravity of the offence.

A fine should be levied as a percentage of the offending vehicles current market value rather than a fixed amount. "Vehicles current market value" to be computed by the software referencing standard market value tables for vehicles.

A fine of £100 will not deter a city banker from parking illegally, but could seriously harm the family of an unemployed person committing the same offence.
