That wraps Europe news today. Brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story. In Northern Ireland, Speeders caught going over the 30 mile per hour limit near schools now face a unique choice. Take penalty points and a fine. Or step into kids court, run by local primary school pupils. Instead of a courtroom, these drivers sit in a classroom, explaining their actions to a panel of kids acting as judges, all to hit them emotionally, and push for safer driving around school zones. One driver, Aaron Cooley, who's been behind the wheel for 19 years without points, told folks he was rushing for building supplies but owned up. To lacking attention, especially with his own kids in mind, the school principal said it's already making a big impact on both drivers and children, raising awareness to slow down and stay patient for safer roads. With 19 road deaths this year, and speeding as a top killer factor, officials hoped this kid powered approach sticks, reminding everyone that no,
rushes worth the risk to young lives.
