Morning monkeys. Can anybody shed some light on something I,ve just read on facebook. New laws are coming into effect 24th of april 2017 saying that if you are speeding in a built up area or on the motorway, the system will give you points on your licence and fine you HALF of your weekly wage.

That's a new one on me, but as you say Steve, might make some of the habitual speeders think about it a bit more. A system that hits the high paid as much as the low paid would make more sense. A 100 quid fine would be a lot to a manual worker, but just pocket money to some of the BMW/Audi drivers I see flying down the motorways. It would be fairer.
