And I 100% agree on fines being income based. I think some of the Scandinavian countries have done that. I also think there needs to be some kind of catch for the super rich who work the system so they don’t really declare an income. Maybe if your net worth is x times the national average the fine is the greater of either a percentage of your net worth or income.

And how am I supposed to attend a speed awareness course while working over 40 hours a week?

“hi boss I need to take a half day holiday on X date, I have to attend a speed awareness course”
"Hey bob, can I swap a shift with you on X date, I’ll work your X Saturday. I’ve got to attend a speed awareness course "
Or if you’re to chicken to tell the truth replace with dentist.
It’s hardly rocket science.

My work is not like that. Not all jobs do sick days. If I miss a day I delay a project and have to kill myself getting it back on track.

Riiighhtt because you’re sooo busy and soooo important to your job that you can’t take a morning off. Speed awareness course is like 4 hours and you can do over video call. Get a fucking grip.
Or, if you are genuinely so important and busy you must be paid a bomb, so just pay the fine, take the points, pay the bit extra on insurance. Job done.
Or, here’s an idea. Don’t break the mother fucking law in the first place.
