Speeding Fine Help

Morning guys, I am after some advice if possible.
I have a speeding fine last month and within 2 weeks of having it I had another
Anyway I am of course accepting them as it was me... I have had a reply from the first one offering a speed awareness course.
Does anyone think (or even know) whether they would also offer the same for the other speeding fine? or would they only offer it once. I am yet to reply to the second speeding fine.
Ideally I would rather do 2 x speed awareness courses if it means avoiding the points but not sure if this has ever been offered or happened before?
Thanks.

Not the right forum really, but anyway...
No. You only get one course every three years. This time, it's points + fine, I'm afraid.
You MUST return the NIP form in time, properly filled in and signed, otherwise things get a whole lot worse.
And slow down!

Thats a shame. My thinking was that I didn't mind so much paying the £100 (or whatever it was) for two courses but not take the points so thought it would be worth it.
But if the option is only on the one fine I may aswell just take the 6pts and be a good boy from now on.
Shame thou

If you are offered a speed awareness course then there are no points nor fine attached to that. You simply pay the course fee. If the second one you have is a straight forward conditional offer of fixed penalty then that is 3 points and £60.My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0 -
3 points is better for insurance quotes than 6 points. Do the course for the first offence & pay the fine for the 2nd.Never Knowingly Understood.

Yeah your prob right mate.
I was going to just take the hit of the 6 points and £120 in fines if I couldn't do 2 x awareness courses... or at least that was what I was hoping to do.0
