This programme makes my blood boil!

They pull someone over for a serious crime and you sit there thinking, "they're gonna throw the book at him" then at the end of the show the tell you what the punishment finally was.

People that are disqualified from driving end up getting a further ban from driving....and that's it. Is that really a deterrent? They were *caught* driving whilst not being allowed to - offf course they'll do it again!

Driving with a lorry a third over it's legal limit gets 3 points on the licence and a £100 fine. Where's the incentive not to do it again?

Jeez. It seems that its people that have previous experience of the law that are major offenders. Scummers.

How about making everyone convicted of a serious offence (driving whilst disqualified/uninsured/unmotted/excessive speed etc) do community work so they give something back to the community that they don't think anything about.
