wish they would just raise the speed limits.

The world might end if they did.
And says my driving is dangerous (open road with little/no traffic) when he was driving a car with a headlight out.
I didn't even question anything at the time, but thinking about it now, it doesn't sound right!
just says speed in excess of 90mph on the slip and that I'm getting 3 points and a fine.
I have heard several times that if the vehicle stopping you has a headlight/foglight out then any charges they try to press are invalid?
bit of a daft post but it is just how i feel.
Folk i know who struggle with driving (and life in general due to mental short comings) tend to drive rather slow anyway.
so raising the speed limit isnt going to affect them, and the odd time they venture onto those dangerous dark country roads they can just get used to less folk queing behind them as the brake for every slight bend in the road.
And all the capable people will have more legal leeway to get round these plebs and old folk safely.
please quote and take the piss out of me

The criteria for speed awareness is if you aren't over 10% +4mph which is:
70+7+4= 81mph in a 70
So if youre stopped between 70-81mph you can be offered points/speed awareness/court but anything over 81 and speed awareness isnt considered. But even then if you've previous speeding convictions I don't think you're eligible for it even if you fall within the 70-81 margin.
