We want to make sure we remain transparent when issuing fines, so we are consulting on changes to our guidance. These include:
• introducing new fining bands for more serious misconduct
• introducing minimum fine levels for each penalty band
• providing more detail about how we determine the level of an indicative fine
• clarifying our position on imposing financial penalties following convictions for driving with excess alcohol
• explaining how our fines increase to remove any financial gain obtained from the misconduct
