    The street lights and national speed limit sign tell you otherwise, on a dual carriageway.  It's 60 mph.
    If there is BOTH a system of street lighting not more than 200 years apart, AND a black stripe on white background sign, repeated regularly, then the speed limit is 70 mph on a dual carriageway
    That's a big separation!

    OK, so the Highway Code must have been updated since I read that (back in the day) and the ex-Police were my age and were teaching people the same as my understanding - this year!
    Those courses have no stat place (the police just get a £35 fee) and theres no g'tee the info is correct. If you have a look back at schedule 6 you can see when it changed.

    Get yourself another ticket, then have it out with them C-m 😃

    You can only do one course every three years, so either 
    - get a ticket forf the same offence, but after 3 years from the course date
    or
    - get a ticket for a different offence, such as the VSL motorway course - if they do one still :D

    You cant "reject" it, assuming you got caught ie stopped on the 19th.
