Personally, I don't know but it seems irrational to me. Where would you draw the line? Is there not an existing remedy of, say, bailiffs seizing goods 'to the value...'? Perhaps leading to Contempt of Court?

woe hang on, your saying that not paying the fine is an offence, I'm not.
Yes bailiffs can be used but if there is not enough to take they may not take anything, all the while the "victim" is not compensated.
judge judy ( in America) seems to suspend a driving license, not sure a UK court can.
example
Adult child lives at home, has money in the bank, car on finance.
When bailiffs turn up to parents home and parents can prove all in the house is theirs bailiffs, cant take anything.
In this example bailiffs are powerless.
I think it would be a good idea but you don't, makes for a good discussion
