'They're Going After The Motorists" Driving Fines and Penalties SKYROCKET

Ian Collins brings two experts, Head of Policy at the RAC Simon Williams and CEA chief executive Russell Hamblin-Boone, onto the show for their takes on the state of fine and penalties for British motorists
The number of drivers visited by bailiffs over unpaid traffic fines has surged amid a rise in clean air zones, new figures show.
Some four million penalty charge notices (PCNs) were referred to enforcement agencies in England and Wales in the 2023/24 financial year, the Times reported.
That is up from 2.4 million during the previous 12 months, 1.9 million in 2019/20 and 1.3 million in 2017/18.
The figures were compiled by the Civil Enforcement Association (CEA), a trade body representing bailiff companies.
Russell attributes the rise to factors such as a post-coronavirus backlog of court proceedings, as well as “clean air zones, ULEZ (London’s ultra low emission zone) and other emission reduction strategies”.
