As a total stranger who who doesn't know you a dot, I can totally unemotional and impartially say that you received justice.

Speed kills, literally. And as an inexperienced driver, you shouldn't be speeding a dot. Let alone anyone else.

If a kid had run out from behind a parked car, tree or whatever then you have a much better chance of not killing them if you're going the speed limit.

The fact that you were even caught, while armed with all the knowledge you have about increased deaths and thus increased demerits, tells me you should have made better choices.

I have been caught speeding 3 times in my 20 years of driving and I deserved every single one of them, and more.

That you were able to further reduce your punishment is further evidence of the system working.

Frankly I think your posts reveal an attitude of a victim rather than a perpetrator, which is a shame because you should probably have taken away something about the need to not speed in order to not kill people.

Everyone thinks they're a great driver, and no one thinks it's going to be them who has the accident that kills someone. But that's the thing about accidents, they're unpredictable and undesired.

All that said and done- if you were speeding by less than 10% I think it's harsh and I'm glad you got to reduce the punishment! Over here we have 20mph zones to protect kids and 7kmh over is inexcusable in my book.
