Speed awareness course

Just spent 4 hours in a leisure centre on one of these speed awareness courses. Yes, I have sinned but have learnt the error of my ways. It was interesting and informative. I still don't know the correct speed limits for the different roads without signs and will I speed again...I'm no angel.

Obviously not read the highway code.
 
They're dogs hit in my opinion. I'd rather have done an hour of being told about speeding and 3 hours of community service. As I've said before it got near the end in mine and the guy was just filling.

Yep I agree, problem is I've forgotten most of it in the space of two years.

One thing I do remember though is getting confirmation that you can stay in third when you're driving on the A56. This made a big improvement in reducing my stress levels when driving on that fucking road.

Maybe you should be grateful for being given the opportunity of attending a speed awareness course instead of trying to be clever and degenerating it?

You haven't learnt the error of your ways and you will undoubtedly get caught speeding again in the not to distant future.

How clever you are...

I was very negative before I took mine but turned out alright and obviously better than points.

Same with me mate when I had to attend one about 2 years ago .
Went in thinking what a waste of time but came out learning a lot and also a good reminder of the bad habits you get into .

Clearly not very and am not degenerating it in any way.It was as I said interesting and informative...having ever had only 3 points in 37 years of driving and admittedly not read the highway code since it went in the glove locker of my Morris Minor 37 years ago I've not done too badly really. As I said I'm no angel but It must be a great feeling to be one though.

Yeah I remember the third gear option fr staying around the 30 mph mark.

Did any of you guys get that video with the gorilla in it - and if so did you spot it??

I didn't!!
 
All I remember was some pretty horrifying stats as to your life expectancy on the hard shoulder of a motorway - if you ever break down get you and yours out of the car and well up on the verge, even if it's freezing and pissing down. Other than that I remember thinking about an hour in that I'd cheerfully take at least 3 points just to be able to fuck off.

The car stopping distance was an eye opener, text book highway code stuff but not half as interesting as the actual speed of impact at those various speeds.

They really should make this part of the driving test.

That's the problem with speeding, it takes longer to stop in an emergency.

People can go as fast as they want for me, but as soon as that affects anybody else they should be banned automatically.
 
90% of the people on those are arrogant twats who know everything and haven't done anything wrong in the first place...

And that just about sums it up.

All it sums up is your ability to make a sweeping generalisation based on complete ignorance, unless you both know 90% of folk who take speed awareness courses personally.
And I bet neither of you have ever broken the speed limit in your lives.
If only we all were as perfect as you two.
