I think I saw some (older) figure for in how many cases the motorist involved was speeding.<br /><br />Surely there's always a minimal investigation to determine whether the motorist was speeding or texting or drunk and if they were, assume guilt by default?<br /><br />@amoeba even for injuring or threatening a vulnerable IMO the fine should be relative to you income or wealth.

Consider the victim and the victim's family and friends.amoebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783694650121687459noreply@blogger.com
