A community service idea driven by people's actions

Inspired by a call to accountability and a recent court decision where a driver was found guilty of their infractions, yet was only given driver training comes an idea a Judge can require.

Community service for all offenders that have moving violations while driving, public intoxication, etc.

How would it work?

If someone is found guilty, pleads guilty, pays the fine - guilty - for any moving violation on Shore Drive or roads intersecting it, they are also required to perform "x" number of hours of community service on top of retaking driver training classes.

Community service based on best practices so they are performed safely :
  1. Perform crossing guard duties. [As in, helping adults not children at schools, safely cross SD.
  2. Speak at Churches, as example, or where requested about a program that encourages safe sharing of SD & the info on how to do that.
  3. Attend certified cycling training and help spread the word about the importance of safe cycling.
Those are but 3 examples of community service people who violate certain laws would be required to perform.
