Conservative politics tried, according to the Sunday paper Sunday Timesavoid deducting points from your driver’s license by choosing to take a “driving awareness” course.
However, in order not to have to personally attend the course together with other sanctioned drivers, nor to participate in an online meeting where your name and face would be visible to other participants, Braverman tried to run a private course.
Allegedly, when the officials in charge of organizing these courses for traffic offenders refused to cooperate, the minister turned to a political associate who, in turn, tried to persuade them to organize one just for the minister.
Accordingly, Braverman’s assistant even requested that the politician participate in an online course using an alias or keeping the camera off.
Rejecting her demands, the politician, otherwise a lawyer, gave up attending the course and decided to give up three points on his driver’s license.
