The President of Home Affairs, Deputy Rob Prow, proposed the changes last year arguing that fixed penalty notices haven’t increased in more than ten years.
Offences like parking overtime or not setting your clock currently cost £40.
More serious ones, like failing to display L-Plates, attract a £70 fine and driving while on the phone leads to a £100 fine.
A £10 discount applies in all cases if the fine is paid within seven days.
Legislation will now be prepared to increase these fines by £25. Band A offences will move from £40 to £65; Band B from £70 to £95 and Band C from £100 to £125.
The proposed increases will see hundreds of thousands of pounds in additional revenue created through the existing fixed penalty system.
Deputy Prow stressed several times that these weren’t bills or fees, but fines and “if you don’t want to pay it, don’t commit the offence”.
Some in the Assembly raised the topic of means tested fines, arguing that for some people a penalty notice is a true deterrent, while for others it makes no impact.
Deputy Tina Bury pointed out that a £100 fine for someone on £300 a week is a proper fine, but for someone on a hundred thousand or more it’s a drop in the ocean.
Deputy Prow said this wasn’t the time to debate that point.
The proposals were voted through 34 to 2, with four people absent.
