Thing is, if everyone obeyed the law then this wouldn't matter to anyone. Obey speed limits and youll be fine. I know blah blah real world isnt like this but hey.

Or the police could stop being so anally retentive and remove that speed gun from their fundament? -

Sounds reasonable and consistent if widely publicised.

Speedometers are not 100% accurate. -

If everyone obeyed the speed limit then the police wouldn't need to be so anally retentive. Surely going within the speed limit isnt to much to ask in order to keep people safe? -

Odds are every single person has broken the speed limit at one time or another so it possibly is. -

I doubt there is any difference if you get hit by a car at 31 rather than 30

Maybe the government should introduce harsher penalties and longer bans and fund the police more in this department to catch these people. Speeding, drink driving, using your mobile while driving should lead to 6 points automatically with a hefty monetary fine? we can work out the details later -

Every year, roughly 400 people who could potentially be alive are not because they were killed by speeding drivers.

Not for drink driving or Mobile phone driving I say. Going 31 in a 30 isn’t that serious and crime. -

No indeed not for those ones, with that being said if they went to a zero tolerance approach - such as with new drivers - I imagine it might cause some friction. -

the 10% is for the inaccuracies of spectrometers.
when travelling at 70mph (on satnav) my car says 73.
When travelling with my parents last weekend, my mum's 16 plate car did she was doing 75 and the sat nav said 68! so a new car can still be wrong.
They can't bring in a law like that until all cars are fitted with a GPS speedometer which will never happen.Posted on the TSR App. Download from Apple or Google Play -

Is it? in 2016, 1792 people died on the road and 26% of those were due to speeding.
Every year, roughly 400 people who could potentially be alive are not because they were killed by speeding drivers.

By speeding they mean people going significantly above the speed limit (say 45 in a 30) and they should be punished. I don’t think Napp and I have a problem with that. 31 vs 30 makes next to no difference, and would be too expensive to prove so isn’t worth it.
Once again i get it is going over the top but until people learn i cannot think of another way. If people are worried about going 1 over, then they aint gonna go 10 over. If people are gonna act irresponsible, they should be treated like children and punished like such until they learn.
