thanks for the reassurance folks. part of me wonders if restorative justice would be helpful in this kind of instance. as pleased as i am that he has been deservedly hit by a fine, points and presumably an increased insurance premium, i do wonder whether he is genuinely contrite or instead feeling angry and inconvenienced. the thought of him going back out on to the road if it's the latter worries me.
Hopefully his own selfishness outweighs the anger. I wonder if he had any points on his licence already? Could be one incident away from a ban.
Good work!
