Solution To The Speeding Problem
77 Answers
All speeding offences should carry a mandatory minimum one year custodial sentence.
No discretion.
No slap on the wrist.
If you ignore the speed limit, one year in prison, and a three year driving ban when you are released.

It would work, at a cost. Research years ago showed that severe punishments were a deterrent in minor offences, apparently because most people are law abiding and are also mindful of the consequences

Interesting thread has given me a laugh, but just one point to raise
Why the hell do car manufacturers produce road cars that can do 180 to over 200 mph when there is no place in the world where you can safely do anywhere near that speed?
OK I did drive a Subaru Impreza and occasionally did over 100 mph ( I did do 115 once) but nowhere near 'supercar' performance.
Any other AB ers care to confess to how far over the speed limit they have strayed? , no names no pack drill !

"stupefying"
Whatever you may say about this thread, it is producing some excellent words.
myriad
stupefying
Loving it!
And such an appropriate word to describe the idea of two hours in Burgess Hill.
Do we need to tread carefully?
I don't think any ABers are known to live in Burgess Hill (phew!)
Away, now Eddie ... the trouble is, we would be verbally executed if we confessed to our speeding infringements on here.
Too late in your case, obviously, lol. But was it really only 115mph? I thought an Impresser would hardly be out of breath at that sort of speed.
AB tip of the day: if it was any faster, don't admit it, lol.

More draconian suggestions to get us to live in the type of tyranical hell that we used to pity those living in the east who had to live with ? I'll have to assume this is a wind up JJ. No one could reasonably want life to be controlled by the elite in preference to having the freedom to make one's life one's own.
There's an episode of Star Trek where they arrive on a seemingly idyllic and utopian planet where everyone behaves impeccably.
It turns out that there's a mandatory death penalty without trial for any crime including things like littering and walking on the grass where you shouldn't.
It works well in keeping down the crime rate to virtually zero. We could try a system like that.
