As soon as you elect to do this, they withdraw their 'offer' of 3 points (12 = a ban) & �60 fine and the whole thing becomes means tested plus you would have to risk paying court costs etc. Unless you are really close to a ban, it is just not worth the risk of doing anything other than just paying up. > > They also want to introduce a traffic control over a > certain distance, > > so you are photographed at the beginning end the end of a specific > > distance of the motorway, so you get a fine if your average > speed is > > over the limit.

They do this in the UK now on some motorways - and yes it is just about the only form of traffic camera which does what it should.
