I don't know but I'm not thinking just motoring but if they refuse to pay any fine or penalty such as for refusing to pay child maintenance, for breaking a shop window, for paying court costs awarded against them etc etc macafee2 |

Careful
You really have to be careful when you start amending law and consequence to suit popular belief. Cases are unique and it should be left to the courts to hand out punishments. There is I am sure the need to review some sentencing but the law is there. There is little to be gained by using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Factors behind offences can often be complex and taking action that in effect interferes with one's ability to move about freely should be kept for serious offences only.
Taking things to an interfering extreme would you be happy if you got 3 points every time your car exceeded the speed limit as we all had to have black boxes in our cars? Even the most careful driver exceeds the speed limit from time to time. Even say 34 in a 30 a few times a month would lead to you being banned every couple of months. I certainly would not support measures that would take away your ability to move about and the possible knock on effect on other people ...say in your family. Completely a separate issue should be kept as that. The courts already have the means to hand out sentencing and ensure they are complied with. |
