With the way insurance premiums are going up, I would nod and agree with anything they say on their "course" to avoid the 3 pointer!! safe in the knowledge that my attendance had just saved me 3 years of hiked premiums!! and the insurance companies buggering you that lil bit more.

34mph? Have you seen this?

The guidance to police officers is that it is anticipated that, other than in the most exceptional circumstances, the issue of fixed penalty notices and summonses is likely to be the minimum appropriate enforcement action as soon as the following speeds have been reached:
Limit Fixed Penalty Summons
20 mph 25 mph 35 mph
30 mph 35 mph 50 mph
40 mph 46 mph 66 mph
50 mph 57 mph 76 mph
60 mph 68 mph 86 mph
70 mph 79 mph 96 mph
Fixed penalty of
1. £60 (pending)
2. Licence endorsed with 3 penalty points Magisterial discretion (level 2) maximum of:
1. £1000 fine
2. Licence endorsed - range of penalty points available
3. Disqualification
4. Compulsory re-testing

There is an obvious solution.

I put it up to show that he shouldn't even be getting a speed awareness course at 34mph. I would be interested to see a copy of the letter or whatever that has the speed on it. I know a few people who say 'I got done at 32mph' or similar and when it comes down to it, the actual speed was quite a few mph higher.
