As I say I don't disagree at all about awareness training. It's a good idea. £1 a week can be a lot to someone on Income Support - if you're making a case for income related fines (I suspect you're not
) then I'm with you although that will bring with it quite an adminstrative burden
Agreed if someone is going to drive when banned then a GATSO doesn't help as such (although if there's a picture of them speeding....); I've already made the point that I'd like to see more resources going into other areas of policing and with other offences being targeted (but that doesn't mean I think GATSOs should be removed)
