Proceeding contribution from John Pugh (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 October 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Local Government Standards Boards.
Local Government Standards Boards
I want to come back on that. When someone receives three points on their licence, that is because there has been a definite finding against them in the case. They might be offered something as an alternative, and many people would accept that. There is a presumption of guilt, and they are offered something as an alternative, rather than the full penalty. If, however, someone is wholly innocent of a driving offence—their driving has been completely blameless—but they are sent on a driving course after being acquitted, they will feel a bit raw about that, will they not?
