briggie · 05-12-2010, 11:26

as you know i got nicked for speeding ( 36 in a 30 ) ...a letter arrived from west yorkshire police giving me 3 options ( guess which one i chose

)

1... a place on a speed awareness course ..... £60 fine and no points

2....accept fixed penalty ....£60 fine and 3 points

3....go to court

briggie · 05-12-2010, 11:29

my question is .... if i accept the speed course ...... do i get a endorsement on my licence ?

waterman · 05-12-2010, 11:29

No1!!

11redrex · 05-12-2010, 11:29

So when is the court date ?

waterman · 05-12-2010, 11:30

No - Endorsment is another name for points.

How much is the course? not cheap I bet, but better than having 3 points. Do the course would say. David.

Sounds a bargain, and you will learn something, but do you have to use your own car? You said your speedo was wrong.
