At present soldiers and servicemen/women are rightly getting a very good press on the whole, but in my opinion this judge has gone to far, either we are all equal before the law or we accept a two teir legal system.
Maybe if the guy was doing a little over the limit and with points totted up he'd have lost his license, maybe then, "at a stretch" letting him off would be more understandable, but driving down the M40 at 143mph twice the limit and just getting a £400 fine is absolutely wrong.
