drivers going 45 mph or more in a 30 mph zone
57 mph or over in a 40 mph zone
94 mph and over in a 70 mph zone will be slapped with a ?100 fine ($209.10 USD) and six-points on their license.
That's up from the ?60 fine ($125.50 USD) and three-point penalty given for current violations.
Also under consideration is a new classification for minor traffic infringements that would carry a smaller ?40 fine and two-point penalty. Any way you look at it, breaking the speed limit on British roadways is set to become an increasingly bad idea.
looks like I what be speeding in England any more

As you already know, here we have :
?150 for +11-40 kmh 5 points (on 20)
?350 for +41-60 kmh (10 points + 3 months suspension)
?500 for +61 kmh (10 point + I don't know the month of suspension) .
And for the last two, if they occur 2 times in 2 year .. Revocation of the license
Driving in UK is fine .

Well said, swajames. No government is going to make a damn sight of a difference on this, as speed cameras and fines are among the easiest and biggest revenue earners for them. Meanwhile, the success of these mobile cash registers has reduced the number of police patrols on motorways, and dangerous driving habits seem to be getting more and more persistent - at least I seem to see more and more lane hogging, undertaking, tailgating, erratic lane changing, lane drifting, lack of use of signals, light-jumping, etc. every day.
It seems to me that more and more authorities seem to be working on the "the cameras will earn us revenues, and people turning themselves into dogmeat on the highways will weed out the dangerous driving on their own" theory. It's high time we started addressing stupidity on the roads as opposed to speed. No point addressing stupidity in parliament - it's a requirement there.
