Proposed New Road Traffic Penalties
The Home Office have issued a consultation document
on more severe penalties for road traffic offences.
It makes worrying reading, in the consultation paper
they cover many new issues and new penalties for speeding.
23 in a 20 limit will get you 7 points and a £60
fine.
76 to 85mph on a 70mph motorway will get you 15
points and a £90 fine
20 points will result in an automatic ban.

"It is quite clear that too many of the
proposals are not about road safety at all, but represent the
most extreme anti-car and anti-driver measures yet threatened
by this government. It clearly attempts to put minor technical
infringements on a par with malicious criminal activity. The high
penalty points proposed are a blatant attempt to intimidate safe
drivers and force people out of their cars." (ABD)
