LOL. Who made you the judge and jury? You guys need to get out more...
So what, he went 15MPH over the speed limit. MrSlacker came here to ask for tips on how to fight the points and get on with his life. Quit preaching, there's nothing more absurd when people feel that they need to talk down to other members (especially the younger crowd) as if they are naive. Would you prefer a personal apology? See how absurd that sounds?

If so I have to say that if you would like to read the ROSPA research you will find it is far more dangerous than keeping to the speed limit. Try the South Circular in London if you want to experience really frustrating driving, and I have driven in New York State and NYC. I will admit driving in NYC was pretty unpleasant. Though in absolute terms driving in LA was the absolute pits, an unremittingly awful experience. Then it would be in his interests to drive more circumspectly and not get any more points. Nobody is forcing him to break the speed limits. It is 3 to 6 points in the UK for speeding and collecting 12 points in 3 years can lead to temporary disqualification. But nobody is forcing him to speed. Not the opinion of traffic safety bodies, ROSPA for instance is firmly in favour of high penalties for speeding. Look, the OP comes here and admits to speeding , but shows no remorse or sense of guilt or wrongdoing and instead tries desperately to dodge the consequences of *his* actions, nobody elses. The lesson he is getting from a contingent here is that you should do all you can to evade the consequences of your actions and not be a responsible adult. Some people here happen to think this is not a good life lesson to learn. |
