Default Re: Higher limits for speeding fines.

These days most insurers are asking whether you've taken a speed awareness course and treating it like an SP30, so there is much less incentive to spend a day being told that speeding can be dangerous.

This is unfortunate because the awareness course might change some drivers behavior where a £80 fine wouldn't.

Discuss....

As stated in the first sentence, these are guidelines.
From ACPO, the Bullingdon club of the topcops.
Has anyone told the automated cash cows?
More up to date is the imminent increase in HGV limits
