Motoring groups have welcomed the introduction of tough new punishments for extremely serious motoring offences. Drivers who are caught on the road at speeds considerably over those of the legal limit will face much higher penalties in both England and Wales starting on Monday, 24th of April 2017. Magistrates have been given new guidelines that allow them to fine motorists who do 51 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone, starting from as much as 150 percent of their normal weekly income, a rise from the former level of 100 percent.
