What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to introduce speed awareness courses.

What the petitioner did first

I have approached my local MP about introducing speed awareness courses in Scotland. My local MP forwarded my concerns to the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government's reply noted that it is considering introducing speed awareness courses as part of its Framework to 2020. In this regard, it is liaising with its Road Safety Strategic Partnership Board (including Police Scotland and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service) and stated the introduction of any such speed awareness courses in Scotland would require a robust evidence base and the approval of the Lord Advocate, who would also decide how they would be used in practice.
