New speeding fines could increase along with the speed as part of new plans

Speeding fines could soon be based on how much over the limit drivers are.

According to the Irish Daily Mail, plans by the Transport Minister would see a heavier punishment given to faster drivers. That would replace the current €80 fine given to anyone, no matter how much they're speeding by. The AA's Conor Faughan says the new proposals make sense.
