Vosa has revealed increases in fines issued as graduated fixed penalties (GFPs) for commercial vehicle drivers — the first increase since the agency was granted to power to issue GFPs in 2009.
The new levels of GFPs will apply to a variety of offences, ranging from drivers’ hours to overloading and increases to the maximum deposit that can be taken at the roadside — for both UK and non-UK registered drivers — are also being proposed.
The changes, expected to be introduced in July, see:
A £30 non-endorsable fine rise to £50
A £60 endorsable and non-endorsable fine rise to £100
A £120 endorsable and non-endorsable fine rise to £200
And a £200 endorsable and non-endorsable fine rise to £300
Roads minister Stephen Hammond said: “We are increasing penalties for a range of driving offences to a level which reflects their seriousness and ensure that they are consistent with other similar penalty offences.”
Vosa also revealed plans to increase test fees last month.
And watch out all you tailgaters, also from July, £60 - £100 for tailgating, the four muppets that passed me on the M1 southbound at J18 tonight at around 4.30, had about as much between them, you couldn’t get a ■■■ packet in there, how can so called “professional drivers” drive that close to another vehicle, ■■■■, I have to back off when one of them pulls in too quick, I am that scared of the barstewards.

Those four ARE Professionals, I know them all personally. All of them are highly
experienced and fully armed to the teeth with the latest knowledge that the
DriverCPC can offer. These four Professionals will NEVER be involved in any
rear end multiple shunts as they are fully trained to deal with ANY emergency stop.
They leave the shunts to all the other Drivers -They don’t like amputations.
