£60 + 3 points on licence or £80 for Speed Awareness Course.

Got a letter today to say I'm being prosecuted for doing 38mph in a 30mph zone, didn't know I'd been flashed or that I was doing that much over the limit, certainly didn't feel like it but the rozzers say they have camera/video evidence.

My question is do I accept the fine and 3 points or do the Speed Awarenss Course? which costs £80, some advice would be appreciated.

Fecked off with myself, never been done in 26 years of driving

Bloody car takes off like a bat out of hell, little touch on the accelerator and you're done for.  Actually wasn't aware I was speeding. :embarassed:

Guess I'll take my punishment and do the course then

£20 extra to avoid points sounds like a bargain - I assume you don't get an SP30 on your licence so don't have to declare anything to your insurace company next time you renew?

As far as I am aware there is nothing on the licence to indicate a speeding prosecution.  I guess £80 is cheap to keep a clean licence.

Correct re no points and nothing to declare.

The course can be quite hard hitting with strong emphasis on "speed kills" so it's only £20 more but will/should have quite an impact on all those that attend.

I know what you mean re it being easy to speed up v quickly. Nice problem to have but you gotta be so careful.

Take the SAC, I did one last year.  Amazing how many different types of people of attend, not just your stereo typical speed freaks (although there were some who I think didn't get anything out of the course).
