These new speeding fines are ridiculous 10,000 that's a joke

Just seen this (http://goo.gl/MLv45J)

Is this for just general speeding or above a certain speed does anyone know?

£10,000 is very steep just for speeding

£10,000 is the maximum fine for speeding on the motorway and will be dependent on the "liquidity" of the person in question. Otherwise it's still £100/3 points.

Probably best not to do it then.

In the other thread about this it's become established that you need fighter pilot reflexes to avoid speeding.

I didn't follow the reasoning that debunked the "concentrate a little bit" method of not speeding, but they seemed very sure it wasn't possible.

Edit to add link.
