Motorists fined in court for speeding will be forced from Monday to
pay a £15 surcharge to help the victims of domestic violence.

But rapists, murderers and other violent criminals who have earned a
jail sentence will escape the penalty.

The decision, announced on Friday, brought an incredulous response.

"If they want to help victims of domestic violence, they should be
suing the perpetrator - not treating the motorist as a cash cow," said
Paul Smith, of the pressure group Safe Speed.

The £15 levy will be imposed on anyone who faces a fine, including
drivers who challenge a speeding ticket in court. The cash will be
used to appoint dozens of domestic violence counsellors to help bring
alleged cases of abuse to court

Yet another stealth tax, aimed directly at motorists.

It's not a tax. You have a direct control over whether you're caught or
not.


Is it hard being perfect?

When you get a ticket, which sooner or later you will, I will laugh my
bollocks off (although you probably won't let anyone know as looking a
total prat can be emrarrassing).
