    No, come on, it doesn't say preferred, it says:

    "* Exceeding speed limits, prosecution in compliance with existing
    detailed ACPO guidelines and individual force policies

    * Breaches of section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, failure to
    comply with road signs consider pre-court interventions.

    These offences should not normally be isolated incidents, but should
    be accompanied by aggravating factors for example excessive speed or
    prolonged misuse of double white line markings.

    In cases where there is a victim and/or the offences have a higher
    degree of 'mens rea' prosecution should be the preferred option.

    Which means, more or less, same as now as I understand it.

    And you also get less trouble for small plates and tinted visors,
    which is a Good Thing.

    You're right, it doesn't say preferred. But unlike almost all the other
    bullet points, it doesn't suggest an alternative either. My
    interpretation was that it was the 'preferred' option - but that may be
    my bad English and misuse of the word.
    This, as I read it, relates to section 36 (whatever the Hell that is),
    and not exceeding speed limits. Separate bullet point, see?
    I agree wholeheartedly.
