I was asked the other day by an insurance co if I had been on a Speed Awareness Course. I questioned why they should know and he blathered on about it being relevant to the stats. He wasn't so sure about whether it was a legally pertinent question.
So you could end up paying £150 AND getting stung by the insurance in any event.

you were in your 'own world', thinking about work, had your wife and kids in the car, still noticed the jag xf taking off at the lights quickly and ended up doing 45 in a 30 zone you travel reasonably regularly ? I'd take the course if offered, might be a good reminder?

I can check if you would like but I am pretty sure that above 42 its straight to magistrates.
won't be able to check until friday though. also they have 14 days to send it out, so if you have not heard anything after about 17-18 days then you should be fine. Speed doesn't kill, speed at the wrong place and time does, and we are all guilty of it, so I am certainly not going to preach to anyone. Good luck mate |

Surely, these people realise it's going to be noisy next to a dual carriageway when they move there? It's like people who move into a new build (not realising the surrounding area didn't want the new homes built), then complaining when more new homes are planned and built 10 years later. |

If you have had a speed awareness course in the last 3 years then that rules you out for another and its points. Only straight to court for 50 and above, my bad for getting it wrong before. |
