New £100 on the spot fines are coming for a range of motoring offences including tailgating and hogging the middle lane. Existing fixed penalties for misusing phones will also be increased to £100. They missed a golden opportunity there. Add instant confiscation of the phone and I'd give them...

Interesting discussion on manufacturers mileage figures [there's evidently a new more realistic test almost ready but the manufacturers want it postponed for several years :rolleyes:] , potholes and private parking fines on RADIO 4 "you and yours" this morning. One contribution from an...

BBC News - On-the-spot fines planned for careless driving Good news on the face of it, but it does not seem to address the root cause of tail-gating and 'undertaking': poor lane discipline. I think it's high time drivers were allowed to pass on either side when safe to do so, but I think it's...

Unfortunately, the other day I forgot to put a ticket on my dashboard when I went to the Hillingdon underground station. There to greet me was a ticket when I got back. Problem is, I seem to have lost the ticket - does anyone know how to pay for it online? I went to their site (ncp.co.uk) but...

Following on from a post in THIS thread that mentioned it being reported that the value of motoring fines is £41 Billion per annum, I wondered how much people had been fined in the last 5 years. I'm sure the report to the forum is accurate but it does seem very high per driver. Please...

Well well. Now the Olympic venues and the areas around them will be car free zones. But of course not if you are a special person. And you will have up 150 miles of dedicated road to get you there. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/212172/olympic_roads_row.html "Proposed...
