Found this too, while looking at the Monbiot story:
http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/li ... 971491.ece


Couple of interesting bits in it:

1. "...Behind the scenes at the DfT, officials have switched priorities from punishing the guilty to treating a growing social malaise. That’s why the use of addiction therapy is being encouraged as a substitute for penalty points...."

So the cameras aren't working then?

2. “There is undoubtedly an element of addiction in this sort of behaviour,” says Burgess. “It’s sensation-seeking, it’s taking risks, looking for that buzz but ignoring the potentially harmful consequences.”


Anyone else get an adrenaline rush doing 35 in a 30?

Anyone at all....???
