Police Scotland to issue formal warnings to speeders
Discussion
According to the press, Police Scotland have been given the power (on a 6 month trial basis from this Autumn) to issue formal warnings to those exceeding the speed limit by a marginal amount.
It is not entirely clear, but the suggestion seems to be that, rather than being about letting speeders off with a warning when they would otherwise have been given points and a fine, the move is about pulling drivers who are only fractionally over the limit and giving them a formal (i.e. recorded) warning. Or as the Sun would have it "One MPH over the speed limit and you're done"
Just flagging it for general awareness.
