    You were lucky.

    i know, I was caught by the arrive alive van on 30mph dual carriage way in Wrexham at 7.20am! just further along there is a fixed camera I pass everyday, bloody idiot dont know what i was thinking that morning. But yes I was convinced I was going to get the fine and points until the letter arrived offering me the course.

    According to kerby the points are not a deterrent so you wasted £30. And shame on you as you are a health and safety risk so should be interned.

    That's only the half of it...

    You would be 'interned' at the time of committing the offence.

    In my opinion, this would be such an inconvenience that you would become much more aware in the future of your speeding activities.

    In fact, in many cases, I think you would be likely to start thinking that a mere 3 points and a small fine might have been a preferable penalty!
