just before xmas i got flashed by a speed camera :cry: but i got offered a speed awareness course instead of the 3 points ,£60 fine ,and the £300 bump in my insurance premium's course cost me £74 and 2 and a half hours of my time what a touch and after all that the info that i entered into there computer came back as.
driving speed faster than average
my distance from cars in front is average
my response to other road hazards fast
emotion feed back high more likely to get a traffic violation
distraction feed back average
i have been driving 14 years and never had an accident and yet i have received 18 points . some of the points raised on the course were good but a lot of them irrelevant, o and there was a lot of women there too lots of 4x4s in the car park. most of the people there had been court doing 2/3 mph over the limit
so basically a load of crap but the instructor was welllllllllll fit
