Speed I received a fine and a 2 week ban for 107 mph on a motorway with only 4 vehicles on it - me, unmarked BMW and 2 lorries behind us... It's a fair cop - I broke the law and took my punishment - but these judgements are left to local magistrates to make, and they mostly have less idea of what's safe and who's trained than most of us. Also, guidelines on levels of sentance are given at a local level, so Hertfordshire bans for anything over 100 regardless of circumstances while Beds or Bucks may not. The guidlelines on minimum punishments for certain speeds should be nationwide and published to everyone. If a sliding scale of points, then bans and associated fines was published then you would know what you were going to get when you chose to do the speed...then there's no argument over light or harse treatment. Just my humble opinion having been through the process....soapbox now stowed away....  | |
