Reduce penalty for speeding in a 20mph zone to 1 point, if speed is up to 30mph

Closed 385 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the fixed penalty for speeding in 20mph zone to be reduced to a level I believe commensurate with the offence and more in line with public opinion, if the recorded speed is 30mph or less.
Introduction of new 20mph speed limits is I believe the reason for the great increase in the number of speeding offences, while the 12-point level at which motorists lose their licence (and possibly their livelihood) has remained unchanged.
