According to the original video posted elsewhere on this thread, he got fined a whopping £140.

£50 for driving like a twat, and £90 for trying to run the cameraman over.

Being drunk at the wheel is about the only sure fire way to lose your license in the UK.

I just saw an article about Emma Watson losing her license because of speeding?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

She did a lot of speeding. And lost her license for 6 months.

As a comparison my missus has been driving since Emma was in the first movie and has one speeding fine and no points on the license because it was by such a small amount.

this is so foreign to me. 38mph in a 30, and 3 points and license lost (due to a previous 9 point total)

in Canada, going 63 in a 50 km/h zone is the expectation. you will never get a ticket for that, let alone pulled over, other than automated speed cameras (which are clearly warned about in advance and identifiable)

I wish we stuck to the rules like that. don't make it a 50 if you're not going to enforce it - it's a false sense of safety

If people are routinely speeding, the road is too wide.
