BBC News saying there are plans to up speeding to 6 points!
Discussion
It's not the 1st of April, I thought of that already.
Whats this all about, seems to reinforce the view that the government is looking at new ways to reduce conjestion.
They are trying to price us off the roads now 6 points for a normal speeding offence. This should get a few more millon banned as well. I wonder if this will be combined with a masive new scamera campaign, the more cameras the more people will be off the roads.
Especially as they fought and overturned the ruling that they had to be painted bright yellow for some reason.
They will be painting them in camo paint schemes and putting the speed limits down everywhere next.

Department for Transport are pledged to launch the second consultation on the matter of the graduated penalty table. So far they have found it utterly impossible to come up with an acceptable table. It's quite amusing - or would be if they weren't fiddling with OUR lives and OUR money.
Was there any information about exactly what event triggered the BBC news story?
Has anyone got a link?

All it means is that more spouses will take the points, and there'll be more prosecutions for perverting the cause of justice.
Total BS really. I can't remember the last time I drove my car and paid any notice of speed limits. Even on my driving test in 1989 I broke the 30mph limit - I was told that to drive under 30mph would get me failed for not keeping up with the flow of traffic.

Now we know it's come from The Times, where it's been placed by Jim Fitzpatrick of the DfT:
