Speeding ..It's About Money!

Speeding ..It's About Money!

The Queen's Speech included a new law on speeding. To quote the Department of Transport, because "there are many more speeding offences being detected", the government "feels it is appropriate that the penalty point system is altered so that punishment takes a better account of the level of offending." In effect, they'll still fine you, but they won't take so many points off your license.

But, hold on. If speeding is as dangerous as they say, shouldn't those drivers be banned?

The trouble is, when you ban them, they don't speed any more, and you can't issue any more tickets. So the answer is simple, just keep on issuing the speeding tickets, but not the penalty points. That way they can keep whizzing along the roads…and pay money to the Government.

Very New Labour…
