my letter from the police

[briggie]

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 :lol )

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]

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

 

[waterman]

No1!!

 

[11redrex]

So when is the court date ?

 

[waterman]

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.

No points :thumb2
I did the course not too long ago.

I was nailed for speeding....my fault...

To be absolutely honest depends on your experience/age it was one of the longest 4 hours I have sat through.
A lot of people do get some benefit from the course [apart from no points]
but I found it patronizing. .....still no points which is good after 48yrs....must remember to concentrate more near home.

No ...clean.....still....:thumb2

 

[briggie]

bit of a no brainer isnt it ?

 

[thor]

yes........but I had a mate who is so stubborn he would not do the course, then a few months later got tugged again..

There was a guy on my course in mid Cheshire who was from the Isle of Man....he had spent a lot of money just to attend, he was same as me, driving long time and did not want points.
