Probably nothing if you go on the £150 'speed awareness course'

If you don't attend £60 and 3 points

no mate, youve got a clear stretch that way, just watch out for the cars on the bridges at the flyovers at doxford international and wessington way, otherwise you are clear :happy2:
Thinks theres a clamp down in my town at the minute, might get another one on monday as I might have been caught the day after by a mobile unit, on the next road down :fighting:
Having a bad week, as always :surprised: :scared:

i think you only get the option of an awareness course if you are under 36mph.


If you need any games consoles or games, accessories, etc etc, PM me for my best price,

Yeh I dont think you will get the option of a course.

Most insurer's expect people to have 3 points on their license anyway, so it wont increase your premium too much, if at all. Mine hardly changed when I got my 3 points 2 years ago.

Correct  :happy2: but sometimes it depends on what county your from as they give a little room to join the course, some forces would rather educate than prosecute as they like to put it, I think they also love the extra revenue the courses create.
