All the revenue raised from tickets goes straight to the government coffers, the police don’t see a penny of it.

Perhaps the police should have a crack down on petty crime. By all reports and results from other countries that have taken a zero tolerance approach to petty offences it does reduce serious offences as well.
But that would require a political force of will that is lacking in MPs, as long as they have their warm glass of milk, expenses and directorships they don’t give a toss.

Nothing to do with the fine, the chances of getting caught are remote, I see so many cars with defective lights, shocking tyres, and other defects but there are so few traffic officers to enforce the law now that you can get away with almost anything on the roads.
