Once again I undergo to say sorry to all the cop bashers out there in Press land but I'm with them again on this one. With one exception - and that is ALL speeding offenders should be given a fixed penalty ticket. And so what if it takes a little longer for their endorsed licence to be returned?
I agree they should be dishing out the points and not offering alternatives. Haviing points on your licence is a **** good deterrent not to re-offend ( well at least for 3 years) a 20 minute lecture will be forgotton the next day. We wern't talking a couple of mph over here - an AVERAGE of 46mph that's 50% over the speed limit. cater out the points.
What some people can not realise is that travelling at 45mph in a 30mph check is the same as doing 105mph on the A64!Us humans are only made to travel at 5mph max. Our brains can not really comprehend anything higher hence the be of collisions we are invovled in. Points all the time coupled with a fine which is % of your earnings. They do that in Finland hence when Kimi the racing driver got pulled measure year he had a whopping book. Those Merc/BMW drivers would slow down then!!!

I must say i evaluate the guard have handled this very well for a dress and a few motorists will have gone away thinking about what the concequences of their actions could have been instead of that the guard had nothing better to do than raise a few more coffers for thr jar,and lets approach it speeding was never much of a priority until they were allowed to act the proceeds raised by cameras. As for 45mph in a 30mph been as serious as 105mph on the A64,i would undergo thought any rightminded motorist would see it as much more serious after all no child is going to step out on front of you on the A64.100+mph is quite safe on such roads as the A64 in the alter conditions as anyone who uses our motorway network on a regular basis will accept,but hey if you want to go for the heavyhanded approach we could always lock em up and throw away the key.
