Hi, Im currently writing an essay on The Social Construction of Speeding. Namely I will be writing about how speed has been socially constructed to be inherently dangerous. One such example I will use is the perceived threshold of 100mph, i.e. as I have read here, if a person is caught travelling more than 100mph they get an instant ban due to the severity of the offence. Is there any particualr rule or regulation or even case-law that this is from? Also any sources that you think would be useful generally would be great (got the usual suspects, safespeed, peepioo, ABD). Thanks, Ben

Its in the sentencing advice given to magistrates - +30mph over speed limit and a short ban should be considered.
