Two speeding tickets in one day

Options
Hi everyone, new to the forum but i feel this is the best place for me to come to. Hopefully I get mature answers, but basically i got caught speeding :( twice! in the same spot :( I'm 18 years old and have a black box. i was going 36 whilst braking from a 60mph zone and going 38mph going accelerating a little too fast before the 60mph zone. So what are my chances of getting a speed awareness course for one of the offences? I cant loose my licence other wise I loose my job and would be horrible.
Many thanks

  • Good chance you'll get a course for one and points for the other.

    Don't worry you won't loose anything.

    Hopefully so, I spoke to a police officer the day I got the two tickets and he said you've got a good chance of getting the speed awareness course so im praying like mad I do.

    No chance if you've got two tickets.

    Two traffic offence reports and you have.

    Two traffic offence reports any you have.

    These were my first offences and it was by a mobile undercover traffic cop :(

    Can't say I have much sympathy for you as you didn't learn the first time.

    Yeah I know my own fault, but I didn't know I got caught speeding until the saturday just gone no flash no nothing. Just gotta hope they let me have a speed awareness course for one of the offences so i only get 3points on my licence

    There's a moose loose about this hoose!


    Fingers crossed for you, these speed courses seem quite popular these days. Sure you used to have to be a certain age, but seems that's changed now :)

    Good luck with that, every night for over 10 years I've prayed for Kylie to be in my bed and it hasn't happened :(
