New speeding fines in UK from 24 April 2017 – see why

март 22, 2017 admin

New higher fines for speeding will be imposed in UK after 24 April 2017.

In compliance with the last changes in the traffic Law in the UK, the fines for speeding will increase with 150% from £ 1,000 to £ 2,500.

Till now the minimal fine for speeding was £ 100 and withdrawal of 3 penalty points.

Since 24 April, the drivers will be imposed with a fine calculated as a % from their weekly income, as the percentage (in calculation of the fine) will depends of the type of the traffic offence.

For example, for speeding more than 41 mph (in speed limit of 20 mph) the fine could be calculated as 150% from driver’s weekly income.

The new system for calculation of the fine is divided in 3 bands, that depends on the traffic offence categories. A fine is usually based on one of three bands (A, B or C). The selection of the relevant fine band, and the position of the individual offence within that band, is determined by the seriousness of the offence. In some cases fine bands D – F may be used even where the community or custody threshold have been passed.

Band	Starting point	Range
Band A	50% of relevant weekly income	25%-75% of relevant weekly income
Band B	100% of relevant weekly income	75% – 125% of relevant weekly income
Band С	150% of relevant weekly income	125% – 175% of relevant weekly income
Band Д	250% of relevant weekly income	200% – 300% of relevant weekly income
Band Е	400% of relevant weekly income	300% – 500% of relevant weekly income
Bad F	600 % of relevant weekly income	500% – 700% of relevant weekly income
