Another case of do as I say and not as I do.

With Labour forging blindly forward with their "speed kills" cr4p, she should do the decent thing and resign. For such a high profile government minister, she should know better - 99mph is hardly just a bit over.

No doubt she will get the absolute minimum penalty.

Not surprised she was caught doing this kind of thing- she's an arrogant, elitist bitch.

at best she is a hypocrite- I had some experience of her as a local MP and she was worse than useless. I have no personal grudge other than that of a taxpaying citizen who despises career politicians who change their ideology based on whatever is fashionable this week- she is one of the worst of Tony's toadies.

Needless to say nothing will come of this. One rule for them...another for the rest of us.

The worst shame of all is that as I was on holiday/out of the country for the last 3 elections I was old enough to vote in. Making it partially my fault these scumbags are in power- as I didn't bother to vote!

Next time I'm voting for whatever party has pro-car and driver policies- whatever colour they are.

I'm not surprised it was 99mph not 101 or something...

My guess is 5 points and a £600 fine!

Any others? Shall we have a sweepstake

What im thinking make it 99 so shes not banned and draws even more attention

More worryingly (for me) though she was caught at that speed in wiltshire on a bit of road I'd always thought was private - If you know what I mean

Fingers crossed, she'll be in front of the magistrate I know

hail-hail

I got £400 and 5 points for 98.2, so I would imagine she will get 3 points removed from her license and slipped a tenner on the way out of court

A political party with pro-car policies eh, scoobynew??
Now that would really be something.

BTW: don't hold your breath:

I hope she gets a decent fine

I got 3 points and £260 fine for 98 on the motoroway, so I bet she is looking at a little less than that.

What annoys me is that 'joe bloggs' who makes 10k a year gets the same fine. A 500 quid fine to her is nothing whereas if it was me i'd be looking to sell a kidney.

She was more than likely doing more than that but the speed was dropped to that by the police It would go down better than being caught doing over a ton. What sort of example do people like that set for other road users?
