There's a moose loose about this hoose!

Hoots mon -

it's a pity there are no Awareness Courses in Scotland - but .........

Its a braw, bricht, moonlicht, nicht!

To the OP of this thread - keep praying and hoping there are no more in the pipe-line, otherwise you're stuffed.

Hopefully you've learned your lesson.

Be prepared to put up a water-tight case as to why you shouldn't lose your licence if you get too many points.

And show remorse, of course.

Essential for your job is a key point.

My speedy cousin was done twice for being 'over the limit' and still kept his licence.

Good luck mate.

I can still remember when I passed my test many years ago, I drove like a total idiot for quite a few years after. I was fortunate that there was no such thing as speed cameras only a PC with a headset and radio that stopped you after you had crossed a radar beam a few yards up the road.

Most of us aren't perfect, even though some on this forum think they are, and usually learn from our mistakes, which hopefully you will. Good luck and hopefully you will get the driving course.

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

Guess he means he got/received tickets in post, then sought advice from a copper.

Waste of time the dvla won't care it would be straight revocation for six points.

Yeah haha my bad, basically when I got the letters to say ive got caught speeding through the door I didn't know what to do, so i went down to the local police station and asked for advice and they said ive got a chance for only 3points and a speed awareness course.
