Ex-traffic Officer is Making £1million a Year Out of Courses for Drivers who Speed

A former traffic policeman and his wife are making millions of pounds running courses for drivers caught speeding, it has been revealed.

Chris Howell is profiting from police policy which allows motorists to escape fixed three-point penalties by attending driving classes.

Last year Mr Howell and his wife Philippa received a £1.3 million dividend paid by his company DriveTech, the London Evening Standard reported.

Pre-tax profits more than doubled to £2.6 million - 18 months after launching London's speed awareness scheme.
Mr Howell's business is so successful he is now reckoned to be one of the highest paid ex-police officers in the country.

The Association of Chief Police Officers said it was "deeply concerned" by the sums being earned by DriveTech.

"This scheme should not lay people a golden egg," said ACPO's Ian Aspinall, who is in charge of speed awareness courses nationally, adding: "It is all about community safety. This should not be about making money."
