From today, if you're caught by a speed camera and don't say who was behind the wheel you could end up with six points on your licence rather than three. It's to stop people trying to get out of a penalty by claiming they can't remember who was driving. The government says if you've got a good reason for not naming the driver you'll still have a defence, like if your car's been stolen. The clamp down on bad driving also includes a higher maximum fine for careless driving, up from £2,500 to £5,000.
Do you reckon the penalty point increases are fair? Do there need to be fewer speed cameras and more traffic police?
