Tories to change points system for speeding?
Discussion
On the contrary, I see not just the back sliding which I predicted in this forum some time ago, but worse, a renewed attack on the motorist. This seemed to commence immediately on Damian Green's appointment.
1) There is now no longer a committment to remove cameras; it is now just an 'audit'.
2) Points will go in many cases, but they're keeping the stealth tax. No pretence with them; it's the money, stupid.
3) "all money raised by speed camera fines should go back into road safety" More bullshit; that's what the scammers allegedly do now.
4) Four or five points 'in more dangerous areas', which will carry 20 MPH limits. Who will pick these 'more dangerous areas'? The councils, no doubt. More power to their (the councils') elbows.
No guys, you were *conned*, hook, line and sinker; and you bit, bit again, and are still biting by the looks of it.
As I said, who introduced cameras? The Tories.
Who introduced S172? Michael (that was thirteen times he refused to answer the question) Howard.
David Begg must be creaming himself; he might even get a job under Damian Green.

Not only that but the insurance issue remains, as the proposal form only has to ask how many speeding convictions you've had instead of how many points on your licence. So the only thing this policy would remove is bans for repeated camera convictions, this is the least of our worries as there is no hope for anyone who still gets caught by a camera when they already have 9 points.
