I cast my vote to prosecute.
Two reasons, all the people I know who have been on speed awareness courses have done so purely to avoid points and it has not changed their attitude at all.
Secondly, a colleague of mine was taken out by a car some time ago. The driver was originally charged with Driving without due care etc. They were given the option of an awareness course, which they took. Despite this when it came to the civil case for damage/injury the driver refused point blank to accept any responsibility. Clearly they had learned nothing from the experience.
