I am realistic about people speeding.
But it is a choice - be that through active choice or negligence.
As it is not a case you speed slightly you lose your license but a known set of penalties then you have a choice to minimise them.
Speeding 10-20 mph on an empty motorway in clear dry conditions with a well maintained vehicle for instance shouldn't be an automatic fine for a speed limit that was set in 1966, Why is there only advice to lower your speed limit in Fog and not an actual legal speed limit in such instances?
What happens when those who are still driving legally because of hardship on over 12 points kill someone through speeding would the families have the expectation to get compensated by the state because the state allowed that individual to carry on driving because they thought it fair in that instance?
Maybe my passion for Judge Dredd in the 2000AD comics skewed my idea of law and order a little?
I don't think the fine system works, look at littering for instance.
