Fixed penalty notices issued to those found guilty of committing driving offences are set for sizeable increases, with some even reaching £100.
The fine, which currently stands at £60, may increase to £80 or £100 as part of the new plan which has been proposed by Justice Secretary Ken Clarke.
The additional revenue received from the higher penalties will be used to fund road safety schemes, whilst also contributing to the compensation received by victims of crime.
Those who have suffered serious injuries will be prioritised under the new scheme and British victims of terror attacks could receive this compensation - even if they are living abroad.
