Ban nears for 1 million motorists
Almost ONE MILLION motorists are on the brink of receiving a driving ban because they have racked up penalty points from speed cameras, a study has found.
About 3 per cent of drivers - 920,000 - are three points away from losing their licences, the usual penalty for speeding, according to the survey by Direct Line insurance.

Alistair Darling, the Transport Secretary, told MPs:
"We need to do more to make sure the punishment fits the crime.
We won’t knock, we will take your door down"
When he was first apointed he called himself "the motorists friend"
