Of course it IS means tested!
Do you think 19 year old Wayne from Hangleton, caught gunning his Vauxhall Nova (nice purple neons under the trim) down the A27, would have been fined £20,000!?
Agreed. Reprehensible and inexcusable behavior.
'Intimidating' is the right word too - an Audi A7 is an absolutely HUGE car. That thing tailgating you at high speed, then under-taking you, would not be a comfortable experience.
