Forgive my stupidity but is it even possible to forget something you HAVEN'T been taught?

I think it’s not possible to think you’ve forgotten something that you thought you’d been taught, but it is possible to forget you’ve been taught something that you’ve later forgotten...I think;..er ...sorry what was the question again?

I've forgotten what I've forgotten... If I remember what I have forgotten, have I still forgotten it?

...if you think you remember what you’ve forgotten that’s the same as making it up, surely?

I 'had reason' (ahem) to book a speed awareness recently. Not surprisingly, they are all now being delivered online.

Since they are all online - it doesn't matter the 'location' of the one that you book, so really there's no need to pay any more than you have to.  Since the website doesn't make it all easy for you to compare prices between course providers, I I put the information online and made it seachable - http://cheapestspeedawareness.ml

Hope that it helps someone out!

Dear OP
If I may ask and you are at you liberty to ignore. What police force handed you the course and what spped where you doing in what speed zone  and were conditons good, ie weather, not raining not a lot of people around and is this your first encounter with accidentally speeding and been pulled up etc.  Just want an idea please as around london we also have many 20mph zones and so easy to creep slightly over that especially when a van is driving right up ones rear bumpers.

The only force in England or Wales which does not subscribe to the national scheme is Dorset.

Also, as an "advanced driver"  I am sure you are aware that the correct response to "a van is driving right up ones rear bumpers" is to slow down, not speed up.

@Car54
Yes I have taken an advnaced drivers course years ago so direct me to the law that stated that they told me about a speed awareness. Also direct me to waht was being taught during 1998 on the advanced drivers course in 1998 when I took the course??
With my ability for good driving I have never been done for speeding so am not aware what the criteria etc is and that is not a crime.
to ask a question on MSE forums is just that and those that reply have the freedom to do so or ignore, you chose to reply but then made false assumptions about me being aware due to my "advanced" drivers status.

Please advise what I have forgotten from my advanced drivers course in 1998?
Many thanks

Please take a course in using spell check and grammar.

Their spelling and grammar is better than their comprehension of English. They also appear to be a complete stranger to telling the truth.

Truth? Don’t you know they are experts in everything so everything they post is 100% correct and it is is us who are so wrong.  A fountain of knowledge - there is nothing they don’t know or have experienced. 😂😂

Yep, absolutely.

I've learnt a lot of things over the years from personal experience, rather than being taught. And I've promptly forgotten a lot of those.

So you've forgotten things you've learnt, me too, still not seeing how anyone could forget something they haven't been taught?

Alas this site was offline, I did find this list of courses with prices which saved me a little money: https://www.ukroed.org.uk/faqs/cost-of-a-speed-awareness-course/

A year later, not much use to the OP now.

Aged thread but good MSE info nonetheless.

I believe there’s a time limit for completing the speed awareness course,...not sure what it is though.

I’d guess the £73 Cleveland/Durham courses are snapped up, while the £95 Humberside course perhaps?? goes abegging at times.

Given speeding is a summary only offence it will be under six months.

You have to complete the course with sufficient time left for a prosecution to begin if you don't complete it (if that makes sense). Most forces make the cut off at four months after the date of the offence and will not offer a course later than that.

I had, ahem, reason to dig up this thread this evening. Unfortunately I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Oh well, it was a nice idea.
