I last received points back in 2005 I think it was, when, after buying a new car, I got 6 points in the space of eleven months, which was a bit of a pain and of course I went on a driver awareness course last summer for undertaking. Again, my own fault and yes, very naughty.
Will it change the way I ride? Being totally honest, probably not on the whole. I'm sure it will certainly remove my somewhat blase attitude towards speed cameras, however when out riding the lanes, I still plan on riding them in the same swift, but safe manner.
I firmly believe that the 'Speed Kills' message put out by the government is incorrect. I'm firmly in the 'inappropriate speed kills' category. This day, my riding wasn't dangerous and I was well aware of what was going on around me. I see this as just one of those things, as annoying as that is.
