Police chief 'wants drivers penalised for going 1mph over speed limit'
What a moron this guy is. Now I'm not saying speeding is a good thing, 20/30/40 zones are there for a good reason. I think the current system of 10% +2mph leaves a good margin of error, doing 34 in a 30 isn't the end of the world, and probably means you're looking at the road and not staring at your speedometer. People who purposely ignore limits and do 35-40+ in a 30 for example, they're the ones they should throw the book at and punish.
This is nothing but targeting the easiest thing they can to generate revenue!
It's not so bad in modern cars with digital speedometers, speed limiters and cruise control. But those without it, it's too easy to creep 1-2mph over.
Bloody idiots run this country.
