I agree that driver education is important. So £60, 3 points and training seems a good method of dealing with offenders

But if you are in charge of a vehicle you have to concentrate - yes, people have lapses. And there is nothing that irritates me more than people driving - at excess speed or not - who are oblivious to what's going on around them. They certainly should be a focus for police attention and awareness training. But when lack of concentration causes you to speed - well that's a frightening combination. Those police drivers who whizz about represent a lower risk because of their concentration (and training) - and the sirens and the pretty blue lights too.
