The news has had reports of increasing the points penalty for speeding. It's a little harsh, but maybe good if it keeps people aware of limits. Too often though I think just better signs of a speed limit would work just as well, other than fixed/mobile cameras.
But is the day coming where each vehicle has a black box recorder, GPS tracked and speed measured. Each year you would have your road tax automatically include your speeding fines, so it would include everyone not just those who get caught.
Also insurance accident claims, black box recording would provide extra information.
A little far fetched maybe, great revenue earner in the name of 'safety' - more margin for the insurance industry, imagine a quote based on your average speed!
