Is this a government move or a pontification of the courts?
If the former, didn't Dave say "the war on the motorist" was over?
I have a better idea...
Scrap the NSL.
It's hardly a war on the motorist.If the former, didn't Dave say "the war on the motorist" was over?

Scrap the NSL.
If we had Swiss rules being proposed it would be.
Driving standards too low and roads mostly too crowded to suggest the NSL being removed, much as it's a nice idea.

This, to me, looks like a good thing for drivers. Especially if you have been caught before.
Am I right?
Finally, its an admission that the robots are very effective and the humans are, well, human!
Good call. Am I right?

The middle sentencing bracket - not so good. Spot the difference?
IMO it's different, that's all. Not arguably better, nor worse, just different.
On that basis, it's also simply a waste of taxpayers' money consulting on it and making a change.
Unless, of course, people don't understand or hear of the change, if it happens, and end up with higher fines than they might if no change were made. Some might see that as a good reason to change.........

Dave said a lot of things. Also, some people would absolutely piss themselves in terror if the motorway speed limit was raised to the heady heights of 80mph. Brake would spontaneously combust.

Driving standards were low before the NSL was introduced.Crowded roads dictate the pace, it's not possible to achieve high speed thereon. This doesn't mean there are no quiet roads, or quiet times on otherwise busy roads, and there is no justification to limit speed in such circumstances.
