More nonsense from Mike Penning / DfT
As
well as support from the public, one of the things that motivates me to continue
to reveal the nonsense we have in Dorset is that a number of those addressed ARE
capable of listening, thinking, and questioning what does not appear to be
right.
Annette Brooke asked the DfT about driver awareness courses:
Annette Brooke: To ask the
Secretary of State for Transport what the fee levels are for driver awareness
courses in the six highest charging authorities; and what assessment he has made
of the compliance of such fees with the requirement to charge on a non-profit
basis. [63698]
Mike
Penning: The
Department for Transport does not hold information concerning fee levels for
driver awareness courses in the six highest charging authorities or the level of
fees in relation to costs. Driver awareness courses are organised by local
police forces and it would be for them to respond on this. The Department
strongly supports a national framework and has been keen to encourage all police
forces to participate in this, which allows motorists to take courses in their
local area and should also provide greater consistency of course fees.
What a dismal response, DfT seems to
just have a few ideas it is keen about, but does nothing about them and knows
nothing about what goes on. Paying for enforcements with the proceeds from
cameras and courses (exactly what the DfT tried to stop in 2007) seems to be the
new way forward, but the DEPARTMENT FOR TRANSPORT knows nothing about what is
being charged, or what the courses cost to provide.
What exactly is the purpose of the
DfT if it knows nothing and does nothing?
