Motorists who break the law by exceeding the speed limit are to be given the opportunity to take a course in order to change their ways, it has been reported.

The Wirral Globe has stated that people who violate road rules in such a manner can take the class rather than pick up points on their driving licence.

The objective of the programme is to "reduce casualties", according to local chief inspector Christopher Markey.

"Motorists attending the course will learn about hazard awareness, speeding consequences and tips on how to keep themselves and others safe," said the official.

This comes after Department for Transport statistics for 2006 show that some 3,150 people were killed on UK roads over the period.
