SO Jonathan Chilton (You Say, September 2) has committed an offence, been convicted and doesn't like it.
Some 3,500 people are killed on the roads per year, a large percentage of those in speed-related incidents.
The road speed limits are clearly set out and if Mr Chilton, as he admits, cannot properly control his car then I suggest he invests in some driving lessons.
If a railway driver is caught speeding, he will never drive again and I feel it would be nice to see Mr Chilton and his ilk treated in the same fashion.
Whatever he feels, speeding is a crime which threatens life and it is surely the proper thing for resources to be primarily targeted where most offences take place and not on an isolated criminal damage incident with very little chance of a successful conviction.
EDWARD SHIRLEY,
Worcester.
