Would also massively increase work as each case would have to be reviewed - perhaps the more serious cases (eg parking on crossings) should have a civil points process?The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828166865647185633.post-52319612036232888302018-02-21T11:26:13.349+00:002018-02-21T11:26:13.349+00:00We do have a real problem due to the massive inequ...We do have a real problem due to the massive inequality of wealth. To have any effect on the wealthy (quite a lot of them in London!)PCNs would have to be set at a punishingly high level for anyone else. Perhaps it is time to look seriously at a way of relating the level of the fine to income?
