Insurance and 'points on your licence' for speeding

One insurance company is considering not penalizing those with points on their licences for speeding... and where one company goes, others are bound to follow.

Is it fair on those who keep clean driving licences?

Some might argue that there are many worse motoring offences. For example driving without tax or insurance... or a valid licence even... and driving whilst banned.

Youngsters speeding are quite often on the news - having killed themselves and their passengers. They don't have the experience of driving to be able to deal with problems... plus there is the 'showing off' component when with others.

And what is the good of any law if there is no-one to enforce it? The fact that there are insufficient police on the roads to deter other [and speeding] offences is a major problem.

Special traffic 'police' could be one answer.
