 Speed Awareness workshops start in West Midlands

Motorists caught speeding in the West Midlands can now avoid getting three points on their licence in exchange for attending a short classroom education course. Speed awareness courses have been introduced by West Midlands Police to re-educate motorists and cut the region's road crash toll.
