Lead-footed motorists beware, those who exceed the speed limit by more than 21mph could be charged up to 175 per cent of their weekly income if caught by authorities next month.

Currently, the maximum fine for speeding sits at £1,000, but changes by The Sentencing Council, the body that determines the punishments for UK lawbreakers, will see that upper limit raised significantly.
