Re: New Speeding fines / punishments have been introduced.

But what happens if everyone is driving at 70mph. I assume that lane one would be full whilst lanes 2 and 3 would be empty.

Re: New Speeding fines / punishments have been introduced.

There are occasions when 20mph is too fast and others when it is too slow. Driving requires constant decision making. The speed limits and the way they are policed allow the authorities a broad brush approach and not to treat each situation on it's merits. Speeding fines are a cash cow, as are parki...
