WE hear that speeding penalties have now increased to one and a half times the  offender’s average weekly salary.


I’ll believe this works when a car passes my door on 30mph and North Road between 4 and 6pm at less than 50mph.


Try crossing the road at that time and you’ll be dicing with death.

We don’t blame our overstretched police. CCTVs capable of recording speeds would be far more effective anyway and would soon pay for themselves.
