Default 'Ending' "the war on the motorist"

Bruce gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying:

So reduce the fine so that it merely covers the cost of enforcement, but
make it a 6 point offence to clear drivers who have little thought for
other road users off the road more quickly.


A minor infringement of the speed limit gets 3 points. A more serious
infringement, which usually means exceeding the limit by over 15 mph,
already gets the driver 6 points.


More accurate to say that it'll see the driver in court, rather than
getting a fixed penalty, where he will get between 3 and 6 points, and a
much more substantial fine.
