Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly which fines you would like to be increased in line with inflation.

The Government is only responsible for fines issued by the Government, and is not responsible for other fines - for example, fines set by local councils or private organisations.
