If you do the crime pay the price simple as that. Speeding should carry a £100.00 per a mile over the speed limit so if you do 30 in a 20 school zone you should pay 1,000.00 and 3 points + speed awareness corse, second time in 1 year it would double 2,000.00 and 6 points, there is no 3rd time you simply should be banned for life as you simply have a driving problem.


But how exactly does that punishment fit the crime? £100 per 1mph over the limit is silly. It's like giving a murderer 10 years for each stab wound they inflicted on their victim. It just doesn't make sense. In the murder case 1 crime has been committed - murder. In the speeding case 1 crime has been committed - speeding. In each case - one punishment is handed out (£100 / 25 years).

Why penalise drivers with a ridiculous charge system when actual serious crimes don't have such a system?
