A bloke on one of my courses was actually on a bike.Out jogging mate
It is a money making scam. They say it is a non profit organisation...in other words they bung the directors a load at the end of the year so that they can show break even.Not a waste of time exactly, I'm on 3 also but I do think that it should be part of the driving test. I just don't listen.....
I know the speed limits I just don't stick to them, that does not make me dangerous, I drive according to the conditions.

Ergh so how did they trace him?A bloke on one of my courses was actually on a bike.

Not strictly true. You can be prosecuted for doing 1 mph over the limit. There's nothing in the law that gives leeway, 10% or otherwise.
Except it does have 10% leeway to take into account the accuracy of the speedometre and the camera.

Got done in the exact same spot doing 48, course at the end of AugustI just got done for doing 47 in the outside lane of the M60 going east around Worsley. The only safe place on that stretch is in the outside lane .The overhead speed display went 60 then 50 I slowed down and when it dropped to 40 there was no congestion...Money making racket.

...people NOT driving according to the conditions within reason is equally or more annoying, common sense seems to go out of the window.It is a money making scam.

Did one of these a few years ago,
An hour into it, a bloke stood up and said "I'm not listening to three more hours of this shit" and walked off.
Seems most on my course were caught out when the speed limits change from 40 to 30 without warning.
I was the only one caught on the motorway - 79mph by a mobile unit on the A303. Good conditions, clear day, not much traffic and going with the flow of the other cars. They must have made a few quid that day.
Only myself to blame.

You say only yourself to blame but what were you really doing wrong ? Unlike the wanker who has just been jailed for killing 2 people. He was texting constantly whilst driving his HGV. Use the cops to get these people not motorist doing 5-8 miles over a made up limit.Did one of these a few years ago,
