Should 20mph over limit mean Jail

[catso]

That's us fd then

What a ridiculous question

Today's Poll

Dangerous drivers

Should anyone driving at more than 20mph above the speed limit on whatever road be jailed automatically?

[groucho]

BTW that's a NO.

I reckon a couple of thousand new jails might be enough

Better make it about 10,000 then

[spaximus]

You best get voting as it is around 30% yes for jailing us all. It is scarey that some poloticians will take this as a mandate from the people.

[nel]

Voted - bloody hell what a stupid question!!

[BliarOut]

Keep going folks... According to the survey 26% of the country are completely brain dead

[Zod]

They're going to have to build a lot of new jails! All the burglars let off with CSOs will be turning over our houses while we're rotting in prison for our appalling speeding crimes.

[Streetcop]

Don't fret...
This namby pamby country can't sentence burglars, thieves and such like to prison sentences, let alone speeding drivers 20mph over the limit..

Relax and chill....Cool Britannia is the softest place in the world....

A nation of lions, governed by donkeys

[nonegreen]

I now support the death penalty

For the 25% who voted yes. These people are genetic waste.

Nice one Street , I can envisage a time when all of us car loving people are locked up in prison for the most heinous crime of going a little too fast, whilst the burglers are happily rampaging through our houses, and then we will be told it's our fault for breaking the law in the first place!!!

Exactly.....

Although unlikely anything will change...as the courts don't sentence enough burglars without getting round to 20mph over speeders

Equally - NO!

No matter what is done regarding the treatment of first time burglars and violent town centre thugs, there is no justification whatsoever for jailing people for simply exceeding speed limits - by any margin.

Best wishes all,

No need to build more prisons
House Arrest is the current policy

government said:

The government proposed the "control order" idea and a range of other new powers, including tagging of terror suspects and curfews, after the law lords said current detentions without trial broke human rights laws.

When are the law lords going to say the same of scammers methods
