Any motorist is a potential killer, that is one of the reasons all legal drivers have to have insurance.

If my house was robbed, by some low life thief, I would not expect a different thief that stole thousands of pounds from the company he worked for to have his sentence extended because the law can't afford to prosecute the thief that stole from me.

Yes, the motorist that is fined is guilty of speeding and he broke the law, (I have done this myself), but he has not committed any other crime so why should he be punished for other peoples misdemeanour's?

Again I will repeat, I would love to live a society where violence doesn't happen, but I also want to live in a society where the punishment is fair, if the motorist is not guilty of someone else's crime then he should not be punished for it.
