Speed aware courses.
Yup, I have been photo'd at 58mph in a 50 limit on the roadworkd on the M25,
reading the guidelines it looks as if its 3 points and a £60 fine, I have read about the speed aware courses and I was wondering, under what circumstances are these courses offered, i.e. can you ask ? or are they something that is offered as a matter of course, I have been driving for 36 years min of 25000 miles a year and these are my first points in 12 years , I am such a failure ! my 1mph over the limit deserves a sentance of death.:cuckoo: |
it all depends whether the district you got caught in does speed awareness courses
e.g. Dorset does them (i know coz was offered one there, 46 in a 40) but Cambridgshire does not offer them full stop, so even if you had 50yrs of clean motoring you would get points |

Last time round they came in fours ! ( all within 8 months )

I haven't picked up anything for a similar amount of time. But then I did spend three years driving around with 10 points. A very salutory situation to be in. |
Once had 13 points on 4 seperate counts, didnt get a ban due to a technicality, my fourth offence I went to court before the third office so they could not tot me up ! lucky !
