ABD Road Safety Spokesman...

ABD Road Safety Spokesman Mark McArthur-Christie explained: "a driver travelling at 45mph on an empty road at 2am could be causing far less danger than one doing 35mph at a busy time, perhaps past a school or in a shopping area, yet under these new proposals the former driver will be severely punished whilst the latter will have his penalty reduced. The same applies to a driver travelling at 100mph on a quiet motorway. Compared to a driver doing 70mph in fog or spray he may be infinitely safer yet he will recieve six points whilst the dangerous driver will not even be reprimanded. It"s an absolute nonsense."
