Turn up, listen to what they have to say (in one ear out the other) tell them what they want to hear and be on your way.
I did one of these, 36 in a 30 (....), showed me some pictures of dead people, belittled me a bit, holier than thou speeches and a form to complete, oh and £60 for the privilege.
retarded in the extreme but a cleaner license as a result.
How long ago was yours? And what area?
The course isn't too bad, but you will be worried about the other people out on the roads with you afterwards.
Where is yours being held Drexel?
I went on one of these courses earlier this year. I got caught by a camera in a van in a layby (first time ever done for speeding since I passed my test), doing 39 in a 30 (I'd have put the house on the limit being 40 but anyway...good thing I didn't!). It was ok, went from about 9am till 1pm or 2pm or something I think. Ironically I had to drive "a little faster than normal" to get there on time! And it wasn't my fault - I'd given myself over an hour to do a bit over 17 miles. On the way there someone's house had caught fire and completely burnt out so they'd closed the main road that I needed to use - so I had to use a load of back routes - and you can imagine the traffic! I got to the destination at about 3 minutes to 9!
Fair play
It made me chuckle when everyone leaving the learning centre practically flew out of the place on mine. Never heard so many high revs in a car park before
That speed would result in an automatic ban. He may well get £60 off his insurance, but I bet he's paying through the **** with a ban on his record.
Never done one, but if I got caught speeding by a camera can I do one instead of getting points? Not that I plan to!
I've been on one of these awareness courses. Wasn't to graphic.
I think all new drivers should be made to go on one. It's a real eye opener. When I was 17, I just didn't see danger at all or realise what can happen when speeding etc.
Why only new drivers? Many new drivers are very aware of the dangers of speeding so why only pick them out? The reason these courses are there are for people who broke the rule, not those who haven't done anything wrong.
