Yes very harsh!

But dont forget, the courts have been told to get as much revenue in as possible - after all, something has got to pay for all these asylum seekers! And all of the other financial cock-ups of this government of late! The motorist is just a mobile cashpoint for the government to tap into!

As for the points, haven't they changed the scale? Eg. if he had been caught doing 33mph he would have got 2 points and if he had been doing 55mph, 7000 points and both his legs removed and 15 years in jail? Or was that for naming a teddy Gordon?
