Speeding Drivers to be taught a Lesson

The government are currently considering plans to enforce even tougher penalties on drivers who are caught speeding and are way over the speed limits.

The usual culprits are those typically found doing over 40 mph in a 30mph zone, it is now looking like drivers doing these excessive speeds could face up to six points on their driving license.

If we think about this carefully, just two offenses in one year could result in a driving ban. The levels of speeding motorists should be cut says the transport minister Jim Fitzpatrick.

The other indication is that drivers who are only slightly over the speed limit could find a more lenient approach from the government.

Here at Bill Plant we know that speeding is dangerous and teach all of our drivers to be aware of their speed at all times. We understand that the government want to enforce speed limits for a reason, to protect other road users and for pedestrians.

We expect the Department of Transport to be in consultation over the forthcoming weeks and their conclusions aired sometime in the new year.

A fine is also expected to be given to those drivers who are  well in excess of the speed limits imposed.  There are many driving lessons to be learned and it seems the government is intent on making their road safety campaign very clear.
