<p> </p><p>The number of drivers that opted for a National Driver Offender Retraining
<br>Scheme (NDORS) speed awareness course rather than accept penalty points on <br>their
driving licence in 2010 is 447,833, in 2011 is 772,180, 2012 is 926,155 and in<br>2013
is 953,464. These reflect the latest updated figures. <br>The offer of a speed awareness
course is at the discretion of the police. To be <br>deemed eligible there must be
no excessive speed or other offences committed at <br>the same time. Information on
previous motoring convictions is not taken into <br>account. <br>The Department for
Transport and the police are in advanced stages of <br>commissioning a long term study
to assess the effectiveness of speed awareness <br>courses.</p><p> </p>
