I don't think sloppy driving is a calculated crime – with the consequences weighed up beforehand. That's not to say it's not serious or very dangerous.

Where you sit on the line between Punishment vs Education is personal but at least giving the education option a try means there will be some data (on reoffending rates) in the future.

Would you pass your test driving sloppily? Would you pass eating pot noodle/reading a Mills & Boon novel/drinking from a china mug/writing your memoirs in an A4 spiral bound notebook? - all of which things I've seen? They should all be banned!

Why aren't all these speed awareness etc. courses part of the test? That's what I want to know.. It's too late after you've rendered someone paraplegic.
