according to news, penalty points are to double for minor offences.
supposedly to get across the message how dangerous it is breaking the limit even a little bit

The article says it'd be for doing over 45 in a 30, over 57 in a 40 etc. You wouldn't, it would seem, get 6 points for 37 in a 30.

Fucking stupid. You only get 6 points for leaving the scene of an accident don't you?
So slightly speeding is as bad as fucking off from a crash.
This country sucks

Im very careful with my speed these days, i dont care if it means i get mr 3 series sticking to my bumper.
Track days are the way forward, one every now and then to get it out of your system.

yeah, I can relate about the queue of traffic, though I've nearly been driving 2 years and done over 25k and no points. I push it when its quite.
