Speed awareness course

[dickie davies]

Done this thing a couple of times. I’ve rarely had less than six points on my licence.

In my defence, however, I never speed in a 20 or 30 , and virtually never in a 40. I just go fast on motorways and trunk roads when the dry conditions permit.

That is also where I am weak

All my points have been on latter.

Have you ever thought of doing it when there isn't a police car behind you?

The only time I've been fined is on the motorway.

Made the mistake of going to a Champions League game a few years ago in Germany (possibly Schalke) with a mate with a lot of similarities to Jay from the Inbetweeners. Anyway, I did the driving when we got there, and was told by him that there's no speed limits on the autobahns over there. It rang a bell so took his advice. Next thing I know, I get clocked by one of those red laser guns doing about 30mph over the speed limit. I was fucking fuming but to be fair, partly my own stupidity for listening to an absolute gobshite.

Is that latin for ****? I did a speed awareness course once and by the end wished I'd just taken the fucking points. An hour where we all had to say what we'd done, which most people seemed to treat as a retrial or appeal - I was the only one there who admitted they deserved it. Then another two hours of being patronised to death and made to feel like a murderer. Only thing I learned was how dangerous it is to stop / breakdown on the hard shoulder for any length of time.

Some parts of the autobahn are unrestricted.

This video taken during lockdown shows how bonkers fast the latest hypercars are.

The way it effortlessly goes from 220kph (136mph) to 320kph (200mph) is mental!

... And it keeps pulling.

On the unrestricted areas the advice is 120kph and if you're exceeding that and have an accident, no matter how the accident has occurred, you are partly responsible

90% of the people on those are arrogant twats who know everything and haven't done anything wrong in the first place...

Scousers?

Those courses certainly bring together a melting pot of social classes sitting uncomfortably together for a few hours.

Is that a diplomatic way of saying you caught nits and scabies and had your pocket picked?
