| According to recent national newspaper headlines, over 2 million speeding tickets were issued in 2006/2007. Speed cameras, whether you agree with them or not, are here to stay and indeed are likely to become more and more sophisticated. There are suggestions afoot to increase the penalties for speeding offences.
Undoubtedly, legislation introduced by the government, but not yet enforced will increase the penalties of speeding offences.
For both individuals and businesses, being able to drive is crucial to earning a living. Accumulate 12 penalty points on your licence over a three year period and you will be disqualified from driving for a minimum 6 month period. Exceed a speed limit by 30mph or more and you could be given a discretionary disqualification by a court in any event.
