Increase minimum penalties for breaking the speed limit twice in a month

Closed 41 signatures

What the petition asks

We think any driver caught speeding twice in a month must lose their licence for at least 6 months with a large fine starting at £1,000 to encourage them to be responsible.
We believe toughening the penalties for those caught speeding twice in a month should deter dangerous drivers. Far too many people have been killed and injured from speeding. We think the current penalties are not tough enough, and that some take no notice.

We think this can help save lives and encourage speeding drivers to comply with law.
