No real penalty for speeding

It is fine to speed on the A30, Magistrates concur

Ross Brawn admitted speeding at 100mph on the A30. Immediate driving ban of course.

Except Ross Brawn happens to be the head of BrawnGP a Formula 1 racing team.

He couldn’t even be bothered to turn up in court, try it one day on a speeding offence and see what happens.

He pleaded guilty, due to the fact that he was late for an appointment.

The magistrates at Plymouth Magistrates’ Court were all in awe. They heard how he already had 3 points on his licence and being aware of how what a busy man he was, decided not on an automatic ban, but on some points on his licence… 9 points so he had an automatic ban, no of course not. 6 points and a fine.

On the A30 there is no limit

Corruption doesn’t just extend to the Police, the Judiciary are just as bad.
