There’s no justifiable reason for the driver to still be allowed to drive, the only reasonable consequence for these actions is the permanent loss of their drivers license
She did a lot of speeding. And lost her license for 6 months.
As a comparison my missus has been driving since Emma was in the first movie and has one speeding fine and no points on the license because it was by such a small amount.
this is so foreign to me. 38mph in a 30, and 3 points and license lost (due to a previous 9 point total)
in Canada, going 63 in a 50 km/h zone is the expectation. you will never get a ticket for that, let alone pulled over, other than automated speed cameras (which are clearly warned about in advance and identifiable)
I wish we stuck to the rules like that. don’t make it a 50 if you’re not going to enforce it - it’s a false sense of safety
You would actually lose your license in germany over such behaviour. You may get it back, but you need to convince a psychologist beforehaned that you’ve got your temper under control.
In the same article it references a guy who tried to escape the police while being high on cocaine and alcohol and killed a 14yo by running him over. He was sentenced for murder, but also got his license back after 5 years.
You can run a red light in a 40 ton truck and kill a pedestrian right in front of his wife, and you can just keep your driver’s license without restrictions, because “nobody would benefit from putting the truck driver out of work”: https://archive.is/W59hd
Germany is certainly not a good example for that kind of stuff. Germany is the carbrain capitol of Europe.

According to the original video posted elsewhere on this thread, he got fined a whopping £140.
£50 for driving like a twat, and £90 for trying to run the cameraman over.
Being drunk at the wheel is about the only sure fire way to lose your license in the UK.
I just saw an article about Emma Watson losing her license because of speeding?

If people are routinely speeding, the road is too wide.

Proper action right here. I wish the states took away drivers licences for road rage like this.
sadly true, I could see US cops taking the “well you’re both wrong” tact instead of punishing the one who actually broke the laws.
In Germany you can go 122km/h in a 50km/h zone, kill three people while doing so and permanently cripple a fourth one, and still you get your driver’s license back just like that, because you claim that you need a car for work: https://www.tz.de/muenchen/stadt/rentner-fuhr-drei-franzosen-tot-doch-kriegt-fuehrerschein-zurueck-zr-91815963.html
