When I first heard this story I was automatically annoyed on the basis of yet more victimisation of the poor motorist.
But reading the story it makes a bit more sense - the faster you go, the more points you get. If you're caught creeping over 30mph, then you'll get the standard 3pts as present; if you're going at 45mph you'll get 6pts and an increased fine.
Good idea or not?
