Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS

Just TWO speeding tickets and you could be banned from driving
By RAY MASSEY -21st April 2008

Drivers face being banned for only two speeding offences under a draconian
shake-up of road safety laws.

Motorists caught going well over the limit would receive six points -
double the current penalty - and a £100 fine.

It would mean that under the totting-up scheme, they would lose their
licences by reaching the 12-point maximum after just two convictions.

The six-point penalty is expected to apply to those driving at 45mph or
more in a 30mph zone, at least 57mph in a 40mph area or above 94mph on a
70mph road.

The new regime would be enforced by a massive expansion of digital cameras
which record average speeds rather than the fixed-point roadside Gatsos.

It is the latest shot at motorists following a new three-point penalty for
chatting on a mobile phone while at the wheel.

With more than a million drivers already on the brink of a ban, the measure
could see the number of disqualified drivers double.

But there was one bit of yesterday's tin foil hat turned todays

"The new regime would be enforced by a massive expansion of digital

I said government would want to do this once they got their tracking
schemes in place and it was dismissed as tin foil hattery.

Most accidents around where I live are caused by drivers driving too slow
for conditions. Those same drivers tend to be unlicensed illegal aliens
who often drink and drive, too, don't know the driving laws and standards,
and don't have the mental reflexes and mental training capable of being as
good at driving as alert faster drivers are.

Going too fast can be bad and even lethal, but high speed in general is far
from the only consideration and far from being purely bad. A lot of
people have a tendency to blame problems upon speed when speed is not
to blame.

I agree, I drive fast only when there is no car around me, I slow
down when approaching high density traffic. Speed will save your
life, many times stupid drivers merged into my lane without a
warning.

Speed, or speeding in the legal sense, in itself, is not automatically
dangerous. I would be much happier on a road with thinking
"speeders" (legal, not safety sense) than surrounded by uinthinking
drivers going at or under the limit.

HAHAHA, Yeah right. Can you give us one example where slow driving caused
a crash.? I can just hear you now - "Some guy was driving 30 mph in a 30
zone and i wanted to do 40 so i was forced to pass him and ran over a kid".

How much per case I can supply. (My rate is $35 per hour, with a one
hour minimum.)

I keep asking SADDAM if he defines "Speeding" as a safety professional
would or as a judge would.
For some reason he never answers. He tries to connect it with
accidents but uses it only as someone interested in collecting fines
would. He hasn't even challanged my contention that a non-speeder
could pass a speeder on the highway, using the significant meaning. I
guess he isn't really interested in safety.

Notice one person uses "caught" and the other "conviction."
Both are probably right.

People who use the terms "speeder" and "speeding" are, almost as a
matter of axiom, interested in the revenue from some aspect.

Genuinely safety-minded people talk about "speed for the conditions", or
"speed for the situation".

As in, "the driver was traveling too slow for the situation" or "the
carr was being driven too fast for the icy conditions".

Here you go, a fatal crash caused by a truck driving too slowly on the
freeway, at only 19 mph. No doubt you want to coddle this criminal killer.

"Six men were killed instantly when the recovery truck they were riding in
hit a lorry doing just 19mph on the M25."
