Only way they’ll really stop people doing it is to hit people really hard.

Instant 3 month ban and a £1000 fine. Once that new legislation came in the police should be made to have a ■■■■■■■■ purge on it with undercover cars and trucks, would take all of 2 or 3 weeks of countrywide bans to make people really think about wether they really want to risk it.

Unfortunately at the moment, as others have and said and nearly everyone knows, police presence on our roads is a joke. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw a police car (marked, granted I may miss the odd undercover one) on a motorway or dual carriageway.
