      I agree with that. However exceeding speed limit is a good indication of disregard to law from that person. Perhaps they should switch away from 3 points + £60 to 1 week of hard labour and fine of 1% gross annual earnings: the person in question also gets checked for any tax irregularities.

          Send them to where uranium mines are then - costs of travel will be deducated from their pay.

            For over a year, they were inactive because the camera model was not type approved. However, they now are, and were active just before christmas..... keep your eye on the camera backs on the opposite carriageway .....

                German drivers are more disciplined drivers don't you find?

                  Also probably better roads and better cars.

                      One of the nice things about getting to my position is I feel no need to rush to meetings with clients.

                      I now look down on the plebs who speed with a mixture of sadness and amusement: they only speed because they are poor.

                      If I want to drive too fast, I go to a race track.
