Driver alertness is being piloted and evaluated by a number of police authorities from September 2009.

Drivers offered a course by one of these police authorities will only be able to take a course in the areas where the pilot is operating and any driver offered a course by an authority not involved in the pilot scheme will only be eligible for the existing national driver improvement course.

This does mean there will be some loss of national flexibility during the pilot scheme. A driver from Cornwall, for example, who committed a relevant offence while on holiday in Scotland, would need to travel at least as far as Somerset to take a diversion from prosecution course. Equally, a driver from Scotland committing a relevant offence whilse in Devon would be obliged to travel from home to Lancashire or Humberside for a course.
