@PhilHannon @BabsMcInnis And? 6 points is tough.

@richardpauptit @BabsMcInnis And what ?

@PhilHannon It was on a motorway

@chucktaylor1961 It was still 38mph ABOVE the average speed limit, they are put in place for safety reasons. You're welcome 👍

@PhilHannon Almost isn't the same as actually though. If he'd been doing 80 he would have got banned but you have to cut off somewhere otherwise you end up banning people for doing 31 in a 30

@eds_smith You do know average speed limits are there for safety reasons, you know like stopping you ploughing into stationary traffic or workers in the road, you do know this right ? Also average speed limits don't start at the lowest number, they gradually decrease.

@PhilHannon It was on a Motorway

@dowley_ It was still 38mph over the speed limit, ya know, the speed limit that's put in place to stop speeders ploughing into the back of those actually obeying the speed limit, are you backward ?

@PhilHannon Maybe we can use @AndyBurnhamGM to set a precedent in the crts.

@PhilHannon It’s okay. No cake was found in the car. Just a beer and a curry.

@PhilHannon It didn’t happen in Durham, did it?

@PhilHannon @TraceyA54242410 In British 'justice" it matters who you are.

@PhilHannon Special rules apply to socialists.

@PhilHannon 78 mph on a 40 mph road is blatant wreckless driving and should be prosecuted as such

@PhilHannon And he’ll probably claim it in expenses…

@PhilHannon @Tedestrela There are people out there with significantly more than 12 points on their license though. I read about a guy with 80+ & most of which were for speeding, yet even though he appeared in cour again he still gets to keep driving (legally). Go figire that one.

@PhilHannon "Some are more equal than others"

@PhilHannon To be fair, Andy Burnham was probably driving a mid engined Ferrari XTC 9000 (other super cars for the privileged are available, financed through dodgy dealings) which automaticaly exempts him from plebian laws and not a mobile crane 👍🤣 🤬

@PhilHannon He probably brought off the police commissioner just like Starmer did. It’s a Labour thing !
