Speeders given the choice of a £60 fine and three points - or a telling-off by a 10-year-old (guess which one they're choosing!) Posted: 6 months ago by AutumnLotus

So now children are being given the chance to make a difference with drivers pulled over for speeding near schools being offered either a £60 fixed penalty (and three points on their licence) or a dressing down from the pupils.
