Don't think of it as the end but the start of your golden years
Who remember Stephen King's Golden Years series, OMG!!! I was fking amazed with that, would look forward to it every week
On point, I totally agree with CBH

Inflation my ass, greed and easy pickings more like.
Yes, for serious offences take the car and crush it, no profit for the treasury there, so will never happen.
For less serious offences, an appropriate time ban, which I bet would stop a lot of speeding. But of course, there is no profit it that either, so heavy fines are preferred.
------------------------------
If their is no revenue to be made from said penalty then the Government will never opt for it
Someone who has 10 grand in the bank can lose £60 for a crime and think nothing of it but someone who lives on very short finances will be more punished for the exact same crime, how to quantify that into something realistic would be for a certain percentage of earning to be the fine, that way anyone on a decent wage will still feel punished and anyone on a small wage will not experience undue hardship
Exactly what that percentage should be, I have no idea
Who remembers Alex Ferguson, sorry Sir Alex Ferguson getting off with speeding because he needed the toilet, and not wanting to lose his license to totting up by not declaring who was driving the (HIS) car, prefering to pay the £1000 fine instead
