Two Strikes and You’re Suspended

Two Strikes and You’re Suspended

11 November 2007 · No Comments

Seen in the Daily Telegraph (via a mention in the misc.transport.road):

Speeding drivers could be banned after just two offences in a tough new crackdown.

Ministers may double the penalty points handed to those who exceed the limit by a big margin - making a six month driving ban harder to avoid.[...]

The new super-penalty would also apply to people speeding at 94mph or over on motorways, 82mph on trunk roads with a 60mph limit; and 45mph where the limit is 30mph.

You know, with gravity alone getting folks up to 40-50 on my 30mph street, the town police would have a field day with this sort of a law.
