The word is
COULD which is no different to what happens now. I have just been sent an NIP for 39mph in a 30 limit and have been offered a speed awareness coures, I
could have got 3 points so it's still discretionary.
The main difference is that at 45 in a 30mph zone you have to be taken to court to be given 6 points, I think double the limit could be a ban. With the new system they would free up court time and make it 6 points on a fixed penalty notice.
