Speeding fines - all you need to know about the new stricter speeding penalties (21 April 2017)
Speeding fines to rise in April 2017 - What it could mean for you
"Motorists who are caught speeding will come up against a new set of regulations later this month. For those a couple of miles an hour over the limit, nothing will change - but the big difference is a significant increase in fines for the worst offenders.
A strict new set of rules coming into force from April 24 could see fines for those caught significantly over the limit increase by up to 50 per cent - from the current level of 100 per cent of the driver's weekly income to 150 per cent. These penalties apply to so-called 'Band C' offenders - those caught driving significantly over the speed limit."
