I was hit by a car back in March and the police asked what I wanted to do with the driver. They said I could try to take the driver to court, have points removed from their license or have them sent on a driver alertness course.
I said I'd like them sent on a cyclist alertness course on a bike. Like the trading places scheme with lorry drivers. The police told me they don't encourage this. I asked why... this all went back and forth.
What do you all think? I think it would be really beneficial. They'd be wrapped in cotton wool in some police compound but I still think it's worth pursuing. The police officer I dealt with suggested I write in with a plan and argument. Will do.
