Speeding on M4

[AudiA8Quattro]

People getting caught drink driving, disq driving get pretty harsh penalties

You know for a fact do you?
A friend of mine, and a former work colleague, got killed by a driver who then drove off.
He got turned in by a neighbour, as he was trying to repair the damage and clean it himself.
He got a measly 46 weeks in prison and a 1 year driving ban, after he admitted causing death by careless driving.
He also had a previous for careless driving.
Unfortunately the law at times is a joke.

well said audi8quattro, the law is sometimes an ass.i just thought that my 6 points and £450fine was a bit severe for a first offence in 28 years of driving. you hear and read everyday about some scumbag stealing a car trying to outrun the police etc and they get 2hrs community service :undecided:and as for the " i only speed now and then"  brigade, what a load of b******cks.

what was the speed limit that you were doing 92mph in?

[Egbutt Wash]

I always exceed the speed limit if I can get away with it.  I get caught on average every 12 years.
People who drive below the speed limit are very often drunk, drugged, ill, tired, or blind.  It's the slow drivers who should be stopped and inspected.

Laws are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of fools.
said Solon, the Lawmaker of Athens, about 2500 years ago.

He sounds better than our PC bunch of rulers.
