Mr Ruffley's probing of the first ten years of Labour rule also shows the number of fines for speeding imposed by magistrates increased by 16 per cent - from 130,605 in 1997 to 152,461 in 2006. In Warwickshire, the number has increased 16-fold, from 1,857 fines in 1997 to 30,316 in 2006. In Nottinghamshire, there has been a nine-fold increase, from 4,625 fines in 1997 to 42,916 fines in 2006. Over the ten-year period since Labour won power, there were increases in the number of speeding fines in 40 out of the 43 police forces in England and Wales.

'How much is actually put back into practical road safety that does not involve speed cameras? 'Ministers need to tell us what they are doing with this £100million a year taken from motorists. 'Coupled with an increase in the basic speeding fine, this means speeding tickets are now raising over £100 million a year for the Government. Mr Ruffley said: 'The number of tickets issued for speeding has increased 150 per cent under Labour. Tory police reform spokesman David Ruffley, who obtained the data, accused ministers of treating motorists like 'cash cows'. This is an increase of 150 per cent in only a decade, and it has been compounded by an increase in the value of fines - from £40 to £ 60 - in 2000.Īs a result, the total amount of cash raised has rocketed from £28.5million a decade ago to £106.4million in 2006, the period covered by the latest figures.

In 1997, only 713,000 fixed penalty notices were handed to drivers. Home Office figures reveal that 1.8million tickets are being issued each year, or 4,850 a day. The increase has coincided with a massive expansion in the number of speed cameras Revenue from speeding tickets has almost quadrupled to £200 a minute since Labour came to power.
