Instead of charging speeding motorists an extra £5 I have a radical idea.
Why don't we legalise all drugs and put a tax levy on them.
Start off by undercutting current dealers prices so that users will have the incentive to buy the proper drugs off chemists. This will hopefully put the pushers out of business, so gradually over time there will be less and less people being 'encouraged' to start using. By having cheaper prices, there will be less need to commit crime to fund the habit. Eventually, there won't be many users, but in the same token there will be less victims of crime who need compensating.
A bit different, but everyone's a winner!
