Means testing ??
Discussion
A mate of mine was up in court for 114MPH two weeks ago.
He had a letter with him outlining his earnings and monthly outgoings (he's in the 40% tax band) with a view to asking the court for a higher fine in lieu of a smaller / no ban.
Result?
Three week ban and £350 fine so very lenient all round really.

Yep, and it's totally un fair. I got a £400 fine and 30 day ban last year for 105mph.
Chris evans got the same a few weeks later and Geri Haliwell only a £300 for over 60mph in a 30.
It really depends on the judge - I had the bitch from hell...and now have very little respect for motoring laws.
I regularly see reports in my local paper of drink drivers getting less than £200 fines.
Where the hell's their priority?
Personally I'd be rather cautious about my correct salary on a means test again...
