Rich drivers should pay heavier fines for speeding.

RSA Chief, Moya Murdoch, says she favours changing speeding fines from 80 euro to a graduated system where the ability to pay a fine is taken into consideration.

Part of the reason was down to research which showed wealthier drivers had a higher than average predisposition to violate road safety rules.

Meaning drivers of cars like a Range Rover or Mercedes, display greater evidence of a willingness to speed.

The plane has not been finalised but the RSA is submitting a proposal on graduated fines to the Department of Transport as part of a wider series of measures.
