With the Government currently considering a proposal to increase the points on a licence for being caught speeding on camera, what exactly is the point when the cameras cannot distinguish between safe and dangerous drivers? I consider myself to be safe driver but am sick and tired of seeing maniacs on the roads who slow down for cameras, then immediately speed up again, swerving in and out of traffic while they do it. In my mind cameras serve no other purpose than to raise revenue, and cynically so. Would it not be better getting more traffic police on the road than what is being proposed?

Drivers caught speeding could be given more penalty points on their licence depending on how much over the speed limit they are.
Ministers are looking at a scheme under which the worst offenders would get six points on their driving licence.
This raises the prospect that drivers could face being banned from driving for two speeding offences.
