I'm confused by this article. It sounds like the normal fine is £65 and 3 points. But the judge says he has "a clear history" and had a reason to be speeding, so "that can't happen here." Instead, he gave Moron a £650 fine and 5 points.
Also, the offender's name is Moron, which is funny but not particularly relevant.
If the judge felt he had a mitigating explanation, why is the penalty worse than normal?
-
I think what's meant by "a clear history" is "an obvious history," and not "a flawless history;" ergo, the harsher penalty.
-
Not deliberately speeding sounds like he was driving without due care.
-
So it's worse because he was not paying attention to his speed? I could understand if the judge found that it was just as bad as speeding intentionally.
-
No, not being aware is far worse. Far less aware of things like stopping distances at the speed that he wasn’t paying attention too.
