not entirely. I think if you are guilty of breaking the law and you know you are then you should accept the consequences of your actions. If you cant do that then you should not speed. Quite simple belief of mine really.
Its not entirely driven by whats happened but the fact I see an increasing blame everyone else culture like America going on here. Which is coupled with the inability of people to take responsibility for their actions and face up to the consequences when they get caught.
Do you seriously believe contesting cases makes an iota of difference or ever will? No it wont. All, and seriously, ALL it does is make useless and pointless protests which clog up the legal system. Those cases where the police have been at fault just close another loophole as they tighten up procedures so in future there will be no technicalities to get off on.
Rightly or wrongly, speeding is against the law. You make a choice when you speed to knowingly break that law. Whether you see no reason for the limit is irrelevant. You broke the law. Contesting it in court wont change the law, this is clear by now. So why do it unless a persons looking at a ban in which case why are they speeding and treating their licence like a right not a priviledge?
And before you wonder if I am for real in life as here, I make that choice every day on the motorway. And I was honest and ready to accept what was coming when I was pulled by the police at 95 on the M1. Possibly the only person to confess to 95-100 and get let off rather than give them grief or have a go for an unjust offence and get done.
