Repeat offenders should not be allowed to drive. In the UK we have 12 points, and lose them for various offences.

You get a fine, usually with the alternative of a course the first time.

Speed again within 12 months and you get a fine and a minimum of three points (more if you are well above the limit).

Speed again within four years and you will lose more points, and AFAIK pretty much guaranteed to be more than the minimum.

Get caught speeding more than once an year and you are guaranteed to lose your license.

I think this is necessary. I say this as someone who complains about some of the speed limits in my area as they are too low (20mph zones seem a bit random) - I still follow them!
