No.
We live sadly in a large selfish society, where no matter what is thrown at people they ignore the consequences.
The other day alone I spotted two able bodied people parking in disabled bays at the front of an asda, would the thought of being caught and hammered with a £60 fine stop them? if it did you could guarantee that within five minutes of them driving off someone else would do the same thing.
Sorry, its a stealth tax, nothing less, and the real issue is not being tackled.
Should selfish people not be punished for breaking the law? Should they not pay compensation to victims?

that isn't what justice is about. it's not even what the law is either.
Try telling that tot the people who have been injured, or the families of those who have been killed, by speeding drivers.

Before the bandwagon starts up, about the causes of accidents and speed, it is a given that the chances if injury and death are greatly reduced the slower the vehicle is moving.
