They do, and frequently.
Besides, I don't really care what anyone says on this subject, burgling a house *is* more serious than doing 33mph in a 30 zone. Period.

You might want to do a wee bit of statistical analysis on the old burglar/speeder death ratio.
Can't argue with your second point though because as you say, you don't care what anyone says on this subject. Although..... 30 is the limit, that is the highest possible speed you can go at, legally, so the caution should be on the side of the driver. Besides do you actually no anyone who has been done for doing 33 in a 30?

Offences such as? 3 points and a £60 fine is a tough penalty for a potentially life threatening illegal action? Er, OK.
