Drivers flouting law given punishment choice by Chester police

GIVEN the choice of points on your licence or watching a 15-minute video, which penalty would you choose for flouting road laws?

Emergency services teams were out in force in Chester at Sealand Road on Monday and Hoole Road on Tuesday and pulled over 89 drivers speeding, using their mobile phone, eating or not wearing their seatbelt.

Police waived penalties for the days, instead offering drivers a presentation by Chester fire crews about the fatal consequences of driving while distracted.
