Tough Penalties for Speeding Drivers

18th March 2009

The Government have announced that they are considering giving a six-point penalty to all drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 20mph.

Remember if you reach 12 points or more this means an automatic disqualification, so under the new plans a motorist could lose their licence for just two speeding offences !!

At the same time the consultation paper also suggests the creation of a formal drug-drive limits in a bid to make the prosecutions for 'driving under the influence of drugs' easier to achieve.

Government minsters have said this move was amied at cutting the injury toll on Britians roads with 2,946 deaths and 30,000 serious injuries in 2007.
