Change speeding penalties to 1point for up to 25MPH on a 20MPH road

We feel that the current penalty of 3 points for speeding in 20mph areas is disproportionate. We think the current penalty treats these drivers the same as other drivers who speed at much higher limits.

In areas like London, drivers can be penalised for doing 24mph in 20mph areas, which we feel is heavily punishing. We feel it's easy to collect multiple 3 points penalties if drivers are making many journeys. We would like the penalties reviewed. Penalties can impact drivers insurance costs and can affect their ability to work.
