Regulation of fines imposed by government bodies

Additional Information

Fines by government bodies and councils and related organisations, seems to be able fine people in mechanisms not comparable with each other, e.g. £10 per day for not doing your annual tax self assesment (a killer if you didn't think you had to do this), overnight fine of £40 for forgetting a Congestion charge - these are really designed to punish the forgetful with a view of creating money from them. There should be more lenient fining mechanisms - e.g. they should all be at least 6 weeks to address/pay - allowing for people paychecks to come through otherwise you get penalised for being paid at the end of the month
