Re: £86k for drink driving
Hi
I fear some have been looking at the wrong bit of legislation.
He was not charged with being in charge of a vehicle, for which the maximum fine is £2500, ie you were sat in it.
He was charged with driving or attempting to drive a vehicle, for which there is an unlimited fine.
The fine is calculated according to a formula.
