Excessive speeders are drivers who frequently drive way to hard. The proposal is that there will be a bigger contrast between major and minor speeding offences. Excessive speeders will be punished a lot harder in comparison to the non-frequent speeding offender. They hope to separate the anti-social driver from the drivers who are behaving. Furthermore is there spoken about drugs-policy. Again, the frequent drug drivers should be kept an eye on and punished a lot harder. The problem with drugs is that it is very hard for the Police on the road to conclude what kind of drugs the driver has used.

It sounds like a fair idea to me. I think there is a big difference between excessive speeders and coincidental speeding offenders. When offending a speed limit you can’t immediately label that driver as a anti-social driver. I think it is still possible to be a good driver if you cross the speed limit with only a few miles. The excessive speeders however truly show that they lag responsibility and have no care for the other drivers on the road at all. I know it’s hard to decide where to place the border between excessive speeders and less social drivers. That is a true downside of this proposal. But if you find a good solution for that: it sounds good to me.

I think this is a very good idea. In this way you can seperate excessive speeders and people who never speed the limit. It can happen to everyone to drive to hard, but if if happends more often they have to get higher fines. It is hard for the autorities to decide the border between them, but now it will be a lot easier with the new drugs tests.
This system is already used by other punishment systems. When you often steal something, you get also a higher penalty then when it is your first time. So it isn´t surprising for me that they are using this system, but it is a good idea.
