Punishment for speeding.

[Foppo]

Speeding can be dangerous in certain circumstances I understand that.

If I drive 90 mph on a clear M/wAY with little traffic I am breaking the law.

Driving 70 mph on a wet road in busy traffic on the M/Way is ok not breaking the law.

Also what is the point having points on somebody's licence?

Just open for discussion what other drivers think.

I think:

1. OK

2. You are

3. You are not

4. Indicates level of skill or obedience to the laws regarding driving.

Obviously as a deterrent, if you have nine points on your licence and you are three points away from being banned, you are likely to drive a bit more carefully than someone with three points.

A serious error, such as 120 mph, or drunk driving, can get you an immediate ban.
For serial offenders, there's Mastercard totting up.
Four strikes and you are out.
Numpty.

No, not more carefully. Just more likely to obey speed limits.

Or finally invest in the required hi tech solutions to at least warn for the fixed location cameras (sometimes facing you were it is too late to react).
