The fines are still income based so unless youre rich you wont get the max fine.

Thats why these joyriding scum who deserve to be dead, all get silly £200 fines for ramraiding 6 cops cars off the road in a 2 hour police chase and a ban on thier non-existant license

Even if they tried to make them pay the fine, the law only allows doley scum to have £5 a week taken from thier benefits.

Yet you and i do the same and we'd probably get a custodial sentance or lots of community service etc to "set an example" and a high fine because we work for a living.

The cynic in me says they dont punnish the scum because theres little point yet they hit ordinary folk harder to discourage us from turning to crime.
