Wrong again, Mr K, I keep to the speed limits.

The issue aboit speeding motorists is well overblown. The vast majority of motorists know that they have exceeded the speed limit at on time or another. The vast majority of them do not kill, as you seem to suggest.

The Chief Constable who is suggesting that motorists should be prosecuted for travelling 31 mph in a 30 mph limited area shows just how out of proportion this issue has become with the police.

That we should have sensible measures to punish reckless driving and hate messages on the internet is not disputed. But we do have to be proportionate, given limited resources.
