Re: "stealth" radar installation-MB
You can invalidate your insurance if you do not disclose any changes,
including fines.

The original system involved a severity thing, with three points being the maximum awarded. There is probably someone, somewhere, that has received /less/ than the maximum three points for a particular offence. Never heard of them, though. I don't advocate bad driving, but let's have a thought experiment - take someone who speeds through a red light, and then makes a turn before noticing the blue flashing lights in his rear-view. Well, lessee.. three points for the speeding, three for the lights, and three for not noticing Mr. Copper (well, to be honest, he might let you off with a very appropriate lecture; the cameras, however, won't). So let's call that 9 points in one shot. Assuming that you can still afford to drive, let it be known that one camera flash will remove your license for at least a year. If you were riding a bike at the time, then sell it - the /difference/ in your insurance for the next year will likely cost more than the bike. 100mph+ or anything alcohol related is an instant 12 points and an instant ban. Starts at one year minimum, runs to (I think) five years to /life/. IIRC, any points you already have get transferred to your new replacement license (fee payable, naturally). Hate drink-driving, but also hate the arbitrary limits - having seen an 18 year old secretary cut paint around a door lock after half a pint, it's hard to believe that certain heavier drinkers are significantly more dangerous after 2 pints... (I exclude myself from this - my days of going to a country pub and drinking a pint of ale are long gone, in this sort of political climate [as are most of the pubs!]. I now count units so that I'm at zero before even getting into my car the next morning, let alone on the same day..) -- Hairy One Kenobi Disclaimer: the opinions expressed in this opinion do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the highly-opinionated person expressing the opinion in the first place.

I guess you're too stupid to understand the difference between a crime which hurts others, and a victimless "crime" like the vast majority of "speeding" is. |
