New On-The-Spot Fines to Target Britain�s Persistently Reckless Drivers
The UK Department of Transport (DoT) intends to crack down on reckless drivers by granting its police force the power to issue on-the-spot fines for acts such as tailgating, undertaking (bad pun alert) and, �cutting up� other road users. These penalties will range from �80 to �100 (US$130 to US$162) and also apply to those caught using mobile phones.
It�s all part of a crackdown on what UK Transport Secretary Philip Hammond deems, �persistently dangerous drivers,� and will also encompass drunk and drug-affected road users as well.
