it doesnt seem they use the money to sort the roads out so why not have to give the money to oxfam or some other charity to help the poverty in africa? everyone knows there not there for revenue raising.

I'd prefer them to be straight about where the money goes.

However, I'd be more than happy for money raised on fines to be slit between the local council and the local police PROVIDED THAT there was ring fencing - money was used for road maintenance by the council and traffic policing by the police.

As for charity - no. How would one choose where to give the money? Whilst African poverty may currently be the Charity du Jour, it may not suit everyone.

or put in a fund like the national lottery do and spend it on attractions in different citys?

Yeah good idea, I can hear the clapping now coming from the opera houses and the black single parent lesbian trade unionist's who are in need of a new house to carry on their campains from.

Leave the Charities out of any Government control.

Would not suit me either.

Throw a few celebs in a couple of parks, and people think we can solve the World's problems.

Ahem, not quite that simple :(
