Using that analogy, then the driver should be banned yeah or are you saying Paterson shouldnt have been an MP in the first place?You're missing the point, mate. I'm not defending Paterson, I'm saying that in the future, there will be more straying across the line unless rules are strengthened.
If you give someone a Porsche 911 on the understanding they won't exceed 30mph, guess what? They probably will exceed it. So better not give them the Porsche in the first place.
