Well according to this source: https://www.oxfordstudent.com/2023/01/25/15-minute-city-plan...

Part of Oxford's 15 minutes city is to fine anyone that leaves their zone.

This is then corroborated by this source: https://www.itv.com/news/meridian/2023-02-19/five-arrests-as...

that says people are protesting that there is a 70lb fine for leaving the city.

So this headline is dishonest.

You are being dishonest. The fine is for driving through zones[1], not unlike fines for driving in city centers that are seen across the world.
