why is my fine so large £425 for 90 in a 70mph?
Discussion
I couldnt produce my paper bit when i went to pay my fixed penalty, simply lost it, and it was clean, and not seen it in years, so was cautioned and said it would go to court,road conditions.. 12.30am at night, busted by a plain Subaru, 90.01mph, lovely clear summers night, no other traffic. Triple lane carriageway.
sounds fair...I am a single bloke who runs two types of self employed income, i am no footballer but make ok money. makes my p!ss boil this, i am fuming. best bit is I was in a loan car this night, because some doddering old so and so opened a door in to my path and smashed the front end of my car up, but thats ok, if i would have been on my GSXR he could have killed me..

Whatever your view, this was a £60 fine, but i committed the horrendous crime of not being able to find my paper bit..because i have not seen it for 6 years, so a £415 tax was put on this.
In this day and age paper is simply an excuse, complete and utter tax.
No you've got it the wrong way around. It was a higher fine, but you failed to qualify for the discount available as you couldn't meet the criteria.In this day and age paper is simply an excuse, complete and utter tax.

OP - when you realised you'd lost your driving licence did it not cross your mind to get a replacement? I guess this increased fine is the price you pay for this item not making it high enough up your to-do list.
Unlucky.
The replacement would not have landed in the time permitted.Unlucky.
I in fact had to buy TWO as when the ex left, she took my NEW replacement with her!
