Tougher penalties

The government is thinking of imposing tougher penalties on drivers who fault the law particularly in the area of speeding. They are thinking of increasing the penalty points to 6 points from the existing 3 points and £100 pounds fine.


I do not agree solely with the idea although many people will say that it is a good move because motorists will not break the law. Otherwise they will have to pay up! To me, it is not this case. Why always blame on the motorist who had accidents? They always go through statistics and would come up with the idea that accidents caused by human error.


I think if the government is going to proceed with the recommended fines, it will bear a heavier burden on motorists who are not at fault but the cameras! Think about it.
