Are educational courses a viable alternative to prosecution for some motoring offences?

Is it right that drivers are offered courses instead of prosecution for certain motoring offences? That's the topic of discussion today as we continue to navigate towards Project EDWARD's week of action on the 17th October.

Chief Constable Jo Shiner, roads policing lead for the national police chiefs council and Ruth Purdie OBE, chief executive of UKROEd are our guest on this episode.

Project EDWARD (Every Day Without A Road Death) is an annual UK-wide road safety campaign backed by government, the emergency services, highways agencies, road safety organisations and British businesses.

The Campaign, Managed by Projects Zero, promotes an evidence-led, ‘safe system’ approach – the long-term objective of which is a road traffic system free from death and serious injury.

Our aim is to provide a platform that showcases some of the best work being done around the country to promote:

• Safe Vehicles
• Safe Road Use
• Safe Speed
• Safe Roads and Roadsides
• Post Crash Care
