TRX n Me = ) wroteHelloLast October I was knocked off the TRX by a car driver, TRiX was written off, very nearly me as well. The police attended and nicked the other driver, I was then told they were recommending a Driver Improvement scheme as the 'punishment' as this was force policy for non fatal accidents. I was not a happy bunny, I'm an eye for an eye type, sorry folks but that's me.Last night I got a phone call from the Police, the driver has failed to show for the training day so they are being taken to court.Question, what's likely to happen to them in court?? three points and fine, or will the failure to attend add a bit to it???I'm interested as if it does go to court and the punishment id going to be a decent one, I might take the day off and watch....DIS is a scheme that was set up a few years ago to try and improve the standard of riding/driving. It's alright fining someone and giving them points but that is all it does, it does not address their poor driving standard.First of all there has to be an offence of driving without due care and attention which fits the Government guidelines for a prosecution. The driver/rider has to have a full licence.The accident then has to fit the DIS guidelines such as an injury accident and the person spent less than 72 hours in hospital and no other offences have been committed, say document. If all the criteria fit then the person is offered DIS. It's usually a one day course on a one to one with an instructor, they get show videos etc and have their driving assessed. They also do road work and receive instruction on improving their driving. I think it costs about £175 a day at the moment, usually run by a local council who set the fee.Usually a summons is issued for court, say a couple of months after the date of the course, if he turns up the summons is withdraw and he hears nothing further, if he doesn't then he gets the summons and the court is made aware that he is there because he failed to accept DIS. They usually get hammered.It's a good scheme if used correctly.
