Yes I'll protest to my MP, but lets face it,in Tony's nanny state a speeding motorist is a criminal so its going to happen anyway.
I guess you take up track days, or emigrate!

Hi,

An appeal to all you drivers.....new laws are being proposed by the govenment in the UK.

It means if you do 23 or 35 in a 20 or 30 zone, you get 5 points and £60 fine.

No big deal ? get this,,,,,85 in a 70 zone you get 15 points and a £90 fine. I'd sure hate to tell the boys down at the insurance company..(20 points and you are out for 6 months, any points after you get your licence back stay for 6 years).

YOU HAVE UNTIL 9th MARCH to put protests to your MP's after which they will begin to motion the bill.

You can find the paper on http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/cpd/sou/rtpcons.pdf

PLEASE ACT NOW. It is easy to stop the bill being passed but it is a bitch to reverse it once it is in place.
