here we go again

ministers considering putting more points on driving licences
depending on how far over the speed limit you are. I'd consider
calling for a wave of civil disobedience, but that'd just get everyone
shipped of to Guantanamo in the current climate.

it's complete with, as usual, a standard safespeed pipe-up.

BTW (http://www.safespeed.org.uk/) is it just me, or would the
safespeed logo look better with an iron eagle or skull-and-crossbones
on it somewhere?

 

Send them to Germany. Ve Have Laws Against Nazi Images now, Ja?

I don't see why this is suddenly "news".

The courts can already increase the number of points above 3 for
"aggravating factors" of which the amount over the limit is one, others may
include HGV, kids around (or in) the car, etc.

Some authorities already choose not to use fixed penalties for excessive
speed and issue a summons instead.

 

Yeah - needs to be a bit more ... runic
