Speeding fines - what s the punishment? The majority of people speeding will be classed as committing a minor offence and will still receive a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of a £100 fine and three points on their licence. However, you can avoid the points and opt for a speed awareness course if it is offered to you. Whether you re eligible for an awareness course varies depending on which police force is handling your offence. According to the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme, the body that manages speed awareness courses in the UK (with the exception of Scotland), you will only be offered to take the course if: you haven’t been convicted of any other speeding offences in the past three years.
Speeding Driving-related fines are lowest in Wiltshire than in any other region, new research shows. However, police have urged motorists not to be complacent - and stated that there is still never an excuse to speed. Across England and Wales, the lowest number of driving fines issued have been in Wiltshire. Moneyshake analysed the latest government statistics to uncover which places have committed the most driving crimes. The website studied 10 motoring offences across 43 police force areas in England and Wales, to reveal which places commit the most and least offences proportionate to the number of registered cars, plus uncovered the equivalent points and fines issued in each area.

A Welsh pub has been hit with a £1,000 fine after customers were caught drinking inside - before indoor hospitality was allowed to re-open.
From Monday (May 17) pubs are allowed to serve alcohol indoors for the first time in more than five months, following a period of restrictions which kicked in on December 4 last year. Pubs have been allowed to serve drinks outdoors since April 26, subject to a number of safety protocols being in place, but customers have not been allowed to drink or eat indoors until now.

Ffostrasol Arms A licensed premises in Ffostrasol has been served a £1,000 fixed penalty notice and issued with a premises improvement notice, after customers were discovered drinking inside the building. On Friday 30 April, as part of checks leading up to the May Bank Holiday weekend, officers from Ceredigion’s Public Protection Team were carrying out routine joint patrols with officers from Dyfed-Powys Police. They found a small number of customers drinking inside the premises of the Ffostrasol Arms, and not following the rules on keeping a social distance and wearing face coverings. The requirement for hospitality businesses to stay closed had only just been eased that week to allow businesses such as licensed premises to reopen their outdoor areas, said a spokesperson for Ceredigion County Council.
