Got done for going through a red light (one of those where you're 50/50 whether to stop as you're very close to the lights), and got a letter through saying I'd be fined and get 3 points. As an alternative, in the Merseyside area, I can go on a "Driver Improvement Course"- it's half a day but I don't know anything about it- has anyone else done this and is it preferable to paying the fine/3pts?
Cheers.

Re: Driver Improvement Scheme?
I'd do the DIS if I were you.
If you get points you may find that your insurance goes up, you will definitly get a fine, so the "cost" of taking a half day off work is nothing compared to the grief it will save.

Nowadays most insurance companies aren't that bothered by speeding fines and one shouldn't affect your premium. Getting done for undue care and attention or dangerous driving is a different matter. To be perfectly honest, I would rather have the fine than to spend half a day be patronised to about how speed kills blah blah blah
