But tell me, will people get a certificate for attending the course? People could then pin it up in their bathroom next to the Asbo Order. Incredibly all these courses are becoming the new GCSE's for society's unwashed. Collect an Asbo, a Call Divert Workshop and a Congestion Charge Penalty in the same month and you'll be entered in to a draw to win a years worth of unemployment benefit. Collect them all 2 months running and you are presented with a get out of jail free card by the Lord Chancellor himself! Of course we could forget all the "after the fact" nonsense and actually spend better time and resources educating people "before hand" on the dangers of turning a steering wheel, changing down a gear and pressing the indicator switch all with one hand whilst yapping away on your mobile about last nights Big Brother!! steve there is no excuse for using a mobile while driving, none at all – I nearly got run over yesterday by someone turning a corner while on the phone.
