Zero tolerance to speed
« on: 27 February 2008, 23:09:37 »

A little birdie has told me that this year there's gona be a zero tolerance on speeding, so 1mph over & you get caught, you get done.
Anyone else heard owt, i don't listen to rumours, but when it comes to my as of yet 25 years of a clean licence, i sit up & listen.

tbh i think if they could enforce it they would have already done it.they will probably wait until they bring in automatic speed limiting technology :(

Absolutely of the question, IMHO. If the police, for legal reasons, need to have their digital speed equipment regularly recalibrated, how could a court convict a motorist using an uncalibrated analogue speedo for a 1mph over offence?

 Red ringed limits, the 10%+2 is about right, IMHO... for enforcement, rather than safety reasons (but I'm not going to get into the driver education argument).
 However, I don't call the NSL roundels FOQ signs for nothing... ;)

 To quote the late Paul Smith, safe driving simply cannot be measured in miles per hour.
