So I ended up paying £80 for the course,£60 fine, 3 points and God knows how much extra on insurance. Not a good day.
Bought a Talex camera warning thing straight away, they make you very aware of your speed and nag you to death- when the satnav joins in its worse than the wife. Never speed now  |
My disgrace caught on camera just within tolerances that costs me money, I was offered the course or points on licence took the course, it did no good I still drive the way I normally do. (For good or bad). One piece of advice I ignored was "in town always drive in third gear, it may cost you fuel but it reminds you not to speed up to fourth".
I don't drive a fuel gussling car but I would if I took those guys seriously.
It's just another form of jobs for the boy's (retired speed cops) and money in the coffers to pay for ignoring other problems.
