Hi trolls! (And non-trolls...I believe there are one or two....)

If, from now on, every time a driver exceeded a speed limit they received a =A360 fine and 3 penalty points (i.e. the logical extreme of the speed camera policy which many here are so fond of), what would be the result?

I reckon every regular driver would end up being banned within a very short space of time. Does anyone think otherwise? Please do say so, otherwise I'll have to assume not.

No wonder the motorist-haters want cameras everywhere eh? If I hated motorists and wanted as many of them banned as possible, I'd certainly see cameras as the most effective way of achieving that in the foreseeable future. Cameras cost lives of course but you can't have everything. Banning motorists is the top priority, and all those bereaved families will just have to lump it.
