I'm furious reading this. What's wrong with the world? This is part of the problem.

What kind message is this sending to the offenders for speeding? Does it have to take an accident to be "deliberate speeding"?

The judge says in normal circumstances he'd have given him a £65 fine and 3 points but because he wasn't speeding deliberately he gave him a £650 fine and 5 points?

Then the judge is a prick if in normal circumstances he'd give a £65 fine.

I was done in a 30 (doing 36) and got a £100 fine and 3 points.

Yes, that appears to be the minimum (unless you're eligible for doing the speed awareness course instead).

So the judge saying 'normally £65' does seem odd.

OMG I read "you have a clear record" as meaning "it's clear you have a record of this" so that's why he was punishing him 😆

apologies!
