   Another bad day for Braverman…

   But reading this, I wonder 3 things:

   1) Why can you get out of points and fines on your license by taking a course?

   2) Who are these private firms offering bespoke courses to celebrities to get them off the hook for points on license? The law seems unequal.

   3) Any research as to whether courses actually make better drivers?

     @goatsarah thanks for your honesty and positivity about the courses.

     Can I ask whether you think the good content that you experienced should be the same across the country? Should you be charged the same wherever you are in UK? And would an exam at the end have made any difference to how you remembered the content and behaved going forward?

     @goatsarah thanks again for your honesty and explaining what you experienced. From your comments and others I feel more reassured that the courses do change behaviour in most cases, which is what is definitely better for society rather than just meting out financial punishments with no impact beyond the wallet.
