ALL ROAD USERS BEWARE!

There are more than 2,800 drivers with 12 or more points on their
licence still permitted to drive in London, according to figures from
the DVLA. The figures also show there is one person with a shocking 30
points, with current entitlement to drive.
Research has identified a link between road traffic offences and
criminal behaviour. One study highlighted a clear proportional
increase in collision fault among those with offence history.
Jenny Jones AM [the well-known nutter, who is apparently very
easily "frightened"] said: “The scale of this problem is quite
frightening.

Really?

I should be frightened because there's a bloke half a mile away who got three
points for each bald tyre, all of which have now been replaced with new ones?

Why? What's "frightening" about ink on paper?

These 2,800 drivers are getting away with reckless driving. They’ve
been offending and therefore building up points on their licence, but
still being able to drive. Of course there are instances where
magistrates need to use their discretion, but the police need to know
its actually worthwhile catching these criminals.

Many ordinary people are "caught" everyday by cameras. The police aren't
involved except tangentially and bureaucratically.

No-one sensible takes Mad Jenny seriously.
