英国人超速,家门口上法庭
The Telegraph: Ministers are considering introducing "pop up" courts for people who challenge speeding fines to be held in their own communities.
Proposals are to be put forward for roving magistrates 1 who will hold court hearings in village halls and community centres.
The move would end the requirement for all defendants 2 charged with low-level offences to attend a central court building.
Mike Penning, the Conservative minister behind the plan, believes it would force people to think twice before challenging speeding tickets and other low-level penalties if they are faced with having to argue their cases in public in their own neighbourhoods.
