On the back of this topic,
How would we feel if the Government came clean and told us that purely in the interests of raising revenue they were going to enforce speeding fines countrywide?
They could call it a tax on the stupid.
It could be announced that after a certain date, tens of thousands of hidden speed cameras will come into action, so anyone getting a fine after that date has only got themselves to blame for being stupid.
With so many cameras on the go, it will be probable that enough points will be accrued to loose your license after one journey. Give people one chance to buy back the licence for an exhorbitant fee, as long as none of the speeding tickets were in excess of 10mph above the speed limit.
I.E. doing 60mph in a 30 limit will be an automatic ban without appeal.
All proceeds to go towards the national debt.
