I'm all for it! Drive like a wanker, get a fine.

The only problem with that is that there isn't enough cops on the roads to spot all the crap that goes on, so the chances of getting caught for cutting someone up or a dodgy overtake or tailgating, is next to none.

What I don't agree with though is saying that it's "boy racers" who are willfully wreckless. I drive up and down the M6 everyday through spaghetti junction, and most the modified cars I see drive carefully. It's the fookin reps that drive like absolute cocks, and the van drivers.

In a way I wish there were more un-marked police cars.

Wouldn't bother me as I don't drive like an idiot on the road, and if I do start to make "excellent progress" on the roads, it's when they are empty and safe to do so :)

Im all for it as well really, nothing on that list I do so nothing would affect me. Tailgating gets you nowhere quicker so its pointless :lol:

But generalising boy racers as being bad drivers.. Erm actually, they tend to be the ones that love driving and are very good at it. Its just the young chav with a primered bodykit thats just passed his test. Every single different type of driver has bad drivers, for example NO ONE can take the roundabout near me properly and stay within the lines, the amount of crashed i've almost had into the side of them as they just swerve around.. :lol:

Motorway speed limit was meant to be at 80mph donkeys years ago, they just never got around to doing it, and also because cars back then couldnt even reach that speed.

As for undertaking, thats always been illegal, so dont see why they are making a fuss of that, obviously 3 points hasnt put anyone off so far.

Cutting people up, well yeah thats a good thing, but then it all comes down to judgement of the police officer. I mean, you could be wanting to get infront of someone, and be indicating, they flash and you cut in, but the cop could see it a different way and do you for it. So that will cause arguments - obviously on board cameras will be in use and may see the flash or whatever, but still, some cops are nobs.

Tailgaters... nothing new there either, already comes under dangerous driving.

So really to say these are 'new' changes, they arent, they have been in force since the road traffic act was introduced, but they are just changing the way they deal with it.

As has been said, you drive like a twat, you suffer the concequences. Personally I think younger, or new drivers get away with stuff to easy too. And as for chavs and boyracers who drive like twats in their cars, police should be alot harder on them. A pissy 3 points and a fine for driving like a twat, stuff that, take their car away and crush it.

Its people like the chavs who go around in their shitty unsafe cars pushing it over the limit are the people who generally kill people and do the most damage. There is a time and a place to do it, its called a racing circuit, if they cant afford to drive like a dick on that, then can they afford 3 points and a £60/£100 fine? No, so why do it.

Anyway, rant over, im off to do speeding handbrake turns, tailgate and undertake while talking on my mobile phone and smoking a spliff.
