As speeding continues to be a menace, the question of how to deter this dangerous behaviour lingers.  While many believe that offenders should have their licenses stripped and wallets raided, the RAC Foundation calls for a more long lasting solution to the problem, namely- an increase in traffic police and speed awareness courses, to really drum the message into motorists that speeding endangers lives.  Below is a link to the Guardian’s ‘comment is free’ by the RAC Foundation’s Executive Director Edmund King, expressing the belief that lessons can be learnt without the need for prosecution. http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/edmund_king/2007/11/penalties_to_fit_the_crime.html
