Limit penalty charge notices (PCNs) for traffic offences to £20

Closed 145 signatures

What the petition asks

We want all PCNs that local authorities are able to issue for traffic offences to be limited to £20.
We believe many PCNs are too expensive, and can amount to a person's entire daily. This is especially unfair for minor offences. Therefore, all PCNs should be restricted to a maximum of £20.

As inflation rises and economic conditions worsen, limiting fines like this should help reduce the financial burden on people who are already struggling to make ends meet.
