Police to reward fast driving youngsters?

This just seems so wrong!

Fife Constabulary said they have teamed up with the race venue to try to deter young drivers from speeding along Kirkcaldy's Esplanade.
The drivers stopped by police will be given information and free entry to events at Knockhill.
Pc Paul Thomson said the initiative would allow drivers to show off their cars and test skills in a safe setting.
He added: "With this generous offer from Knockhill Racing Circuit we are able to show our commitment to the problem by liaising with our target groups and show them that there are better places than the Esplanade to show off their cars.
"It also demonstrates that driving can still be fun in the proper environment whilst putting across our message that anti-social driving is unacceptable in the local community.

Excellent, perhaps Southend could do a similar deal with Branda Hatch - save me paying for a trackday

seems like a good idea to me. Seems better to learn the limit of you and your car's ability on a track rather than a road

so they can now drive fast and safely on the road

surely you would agree someone who can control a car at the limit would be better than someone who can't? Let's face it, some young people are going to drive fast anyway, so at least train them
