No they are a prosecution cop-out used AFTER a dreadful event. Also they are not cyclist specific. Drivers should be trained not to kill in the first place and if they do they should be punished much more severely than at present. Killing people by whatever means should not be tolerated. -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net A driving licence is a licence to kill. |

No they are a prosecution cop-out used AFTER a dreadful event. They are used after a speeding offence. Minor ones at that. If you are caught only a few mph over the 10% + 2mph ACPO guidelines, you can elect to go on a course, rather than get a fine and points. If you are well over the limit, no such option is available to you. ISTR that some of these (all/many?) courses are charged to the perp. They also cost more than the fine but don't come with the points added on. The choice - expensive schooling and no points or lower cost but with points. -- Its never too late to reinvent the bicycle |
