Speeding

[E55BOF]

This is the bit I can’t fathom.
I’ve been done (quite rightly so ) for doing 43 in a 30.it was a built up area very close to the entrance to a school and I was given 100 quid fine and 3 points but a director at our place has been done doing 65 in a 50 on an empty motorway at 3am. He’s been done for a weeks salary. I just can’t see how he’s been given such a higher penalty for what I personally deem a lesser offence.

The sentencing guidelines have been changed. It's all here:

Your director received a Band B fine, so he must have been doing between 66 and 75 in the 50 limit.

Mine too was a band b offence but after reading the mitigating circumstances it seems because I had a clean license at the time then my fine was downgraded to a band a offence.

Most towns in Scotland are now 20mph.

Honestly i have been overtaken by many pushbikes. I might as well of got out and pushed the bloody thing!

Ridiculous

West Lothian seems to have abandoned the global 20 limits in their towns, except in selected areas, like Linlithgow Main Street where the cobbles make any higher speeds downright dangerous.
