In other words, since all drivers commit such offences, "Don't drive". Which is, of course, exactly what you think, you're just too much of a coward to admit it.

Well perhaps if so many people weren't being needlessly banned for speeding "offences" then such decisions wouldn't be getting made in the first place. If drink-drivers get off more lightly as a result of this, it's YET ANOTHER way in which the obsession with speeding is making the roads MORE dangerous, and yet another way in which your support of cameras in the full knowledge that they kill people makes you a murderer by proxy.
