Fines planned for careless driving

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13356057

Police will get powers to fine careless drivers, rather than taking them to court, as part of a government strategy to make Britain's roads safer.

Ministers say motorists who tail-gate, undertake or cut others up often go unpunished and that introducing instant penalties would be more efficient.

Offenders would get a fine of at least £80 and three points on their licence.

Critics say the approach - likely to be introduced in 2012 in England, Scotland and Wales - is too simplistic...

Just the government taking more of our money... well not our money because the article is from the UK, but damn the government anyways.
