Can't believe they didn't lock you up and throw away the key!
You would NEVER catch me speeding (see what I did there!).
Beats a 12 month ban and resit thats for sure
Speed awareness....I have one booked for the 19th of this month.... I thought it was a driving experience day

except the hot bird there. she was most definitely wrongly accused
Done one of these not so long ago, actually found it quite interesting
learnt a few things to!

but theyll come down on anyone whos done it much harder the next time they catch you
apparently not - speeding will be FPN and 60 sheets .
anyway , it was a bit of MILF , now just imagine .
the biggest part of it was the dead band of 35-40 mph which most of us will quite happily sit at on urban roads , where the injuries recieved would be
very serious or death for pedestrians .
and lots of common sense about awareness , looking further down the road etc . something i like to think i do ok at , but obviously not good enough on
the day i got nicked .
common sense and awareness should teach stupid people not to walk out in the middle of the road when cars are driving up to them
I did the awareness driving course a couple of years ago... I discovered three things... out of a room of twenty eight people, I was the only one to
think I was a bad driver(we
were all bad drivers or we wouldn't have been in that room) Secondly, I was the only one who read the highway code more than twice... and thirdly
they adjust the truth and the statistics to suit themselves and are not keen when you correct them...
Where I work there are speed awareness and also longer driver improvement courses in the same building. For the Speed awareness multiply the number of
people on your course (9-15 here) by 3 times a day and then 6 days a week... someone's doing well financially.

Reminds me of a road safety advert I had in mind:
Boxing ring, in the red corner is 12 stone of pedestrian. In the blue corner is 1.2 metric tons of Mondeo.
Ding Ding!
Bang
One dead pedestrian.
The winner, and recipient of a driving ban, the Mondeo.
The loser, and recipient of a funeral, the pedestrian!
They did a similar thing with trains, pointing out that you splattering on the front of one makes no difference to the train.
Ahhh the number of people I had to remind that my car weighs more than a ton and if I hit them they'll be more hurt than me.
A friend of mine (honest) was on hioliday in Cheshire , his wife was driving and got pinged by the speed camera.
They live Durham and she had to do her course in Cheshire, obviously to ensure the cash hit Cheshire council instead of Durham.
So they both ended up back in Cheshire the night before the course in a B&B ready for her to do the course in the morning.
So you live in Macrahanish and set off a speed camera in Cornwall and you drive for a living and want to avoid the points, thats a long haul to avoid
points on your licence.
I may be wrong but this looks a bit scam like to me, or am I just cynical of this wonderful government we have. At the very least its another backdoor
fine on decent people while the turds of society please themselves ?
The course should be able to be sat at your home county....
Soapbox slid back under the bed & thanks for listening!
