Sorry might be a dumb question but who is the victim to warrant a victim surcharge. The road was empty of cars and pedestrians where I was driving.
The money from victim surcharges effectively dumped in one big pot and is used to fund general victim services, and you don't escape it by arguing that there was no specific victim in your case.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme exists to help victims. It is (partly) funded by the surcharge, which applies to all fines in criminal courts.

It is not related to your specific case, it is a general fund for all crime victims, or a surcharge on all fines, depending on how you look at it.


You would be very ill-advised to contest this case on the basis of inadequate signage in my view, looking at Google Streetview, that is a very flimsy argument.

Victims in general, not a specific victim. It’s levelled on all fines.
