Advice needed re possible speeding ticket

[city2]

Just had a letter from the Warwickshire police speeding on the M42 at 79mph from a bridge camera, pay the fine with 3 points or pay a slightly reduced fine and do the course

Pay a reduced fine and do the course, it's interesting but take your own Bourbons. Oh and BTW, it didn't work the first time so I went back a few years later.

They should make it part of the driving test.

Back in the day I had a job which involved travelling round the UK in AVIS hire cars and I ragged those hire cars within an inch of their lives………

To this day I can’t believe that I never got pulled for speeding or weaving between motorway lanes and often wonder why I behaved like that.

Got done for the first time in my life a few weeks ago 48mph on a 40mph road. Some devious police vehicle parked in a lay by.

I have been driving for nearly 60 years and will not be doing a speed awareness course as I would just lose my temper. It is nothing to do with road safety just the police getting their statistics improved and a money making racket.

Fuck them,

Smaller fine and no points isn't it?

If I did that would I not be essentially admitting to them that I had been speeding, would they not then be obliged to look into it?

Dunno where you live mate but round my way you can't even find a copper to hand yourself in to.

Slow down

£10 less for speed awareness course and no points. Everybody I know who have been on the course say it is just a time wasting effort to tell you the bleeding obvious.

Not sure how it can be a money making racket, when you pay more of a fine if you don’t do it. Plus the cost of the courses themselves?

Although, you’ve done remarkably well to go nearly 60 years without a speeding fine.

70 in a 60 you might just about get away with.

Bearing in mind that if you car speedo is reading 70 then you’re probably really doing about 67.

Motorway speed cameras are dangerous IMO. Who wants to be behind someone on a motorway slamming on their brakes because of a fucking speed camera!?

I got done by one on the M62 a while back. 83 in a 70. Middle of the night, not another car on the road. Had to do a speeding course that cost me about 90 quid. Robbing cunts.
