They should raise the driving age to 25!!!!!!!
Certainly for cars over 1.6 L, but having said that you can just as easily kill someone with a 1.1L - No the courts must be stricter, that has to be the only answer - What gets me is how variable sentencing can be for the same crime - I know a small town where the magistrates are really harsh while just a few miles away in the city they are far more leniant - I suppose you can see why, city courts see far more people and you cant hand out custodials to everyone - I think a persons earnings should be taken into account because a grand to Khan is like £10 or even less to many of us - If you are going to fine someone it has to hurt or there is no punishment - Anyone found guilty of dangerous driving which means putting the lives of others at risk, should get time - The more serious the offence the longer the sentence followed by a three year ban starting from their day of release and then a re test - Harsh punishments like that for all including celebs, boxers, footballers etc ned to be applied.

Yes it is rather foolish. Why don't they just stipulate a week's wages or a percentage of their regular earnings, rather than a flat fee, its pointless fining super rich geezers a grand.

Khan obviously has a bit of a problem controlling his urge to drive fast, so really, why don't they ban him?

All cars intended for road use should be limited to 70-80 mph IMO. Its greener and safer, don't know if the car making companies and possibly the politicians (tax reasons) will see it the same as I do though (fcuk em

Agreed. Then I won't have to put my brakes on when overtaking at 80mph on a 2 lane motorway cos some dickcheese in a BMW wants some of my arse.

They should also ban lorries from overtaking / travelling neck and neck for 5 miles....

I thought Franks little quip was pretty good "Amirs a lad in a hurry, but not so much of a hurry after yesterday" - Khan either didnt understand the subtlety of the joke or he wasnt amused.
