Two speeding tickets in one day

brad259

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

I'd love to know how you can 'loose' a licence and 'loose' a job!

If your job requires a driving licence :beer:

Whoosh!! <sound of point going over someone's head>.


BTW, to the OP. No, this isn't the right forum.

So there are at least two people on this thread who don't know the difference between 'lose' (which is the opposite of 'win' and I'm sure is what the OP meant) and 'loose' which is the opposite of 'tight'!

Welcome to 21st Century spelling Spidernick - if the spell check doesn't see any error - it must be right - innit bro.

I blame it on the teacher's.

@OP

It would seem that you have received two NIP's (Notices of Intended Prosecution) although you have not specified that.

You should return both identifying yourself as the driver - making sure you sign the forms and return them within the 28 days you have to reply (from the date of your receiving them).

Both offences are within the speed awareness course threshold but you are only entitled to attend one (in a rolling 3 year period) so one will cost you the course fee whilst the other is likely to see a COFP sent to you and will carry 3 points.

The situation might become a little complicated (in respect of the offer of speed awareness course) if these offences occurred in differing police areas but I suggest you simply play it by ear.

He says they were in the same spot, so same police officer, same camera therefore presumably same police area!
