Speeding on the dual

RoseGold2021

Given I’ve already got points for CU80, what is the likelihood of getting the course? Will they be inclined to give the course, given never done it before, or still points? Just trying to gauge my fate. I know sitting anxiously by the letterbox is the answer, but trying to give myself a general idea.

The only qualifications for doing the course are being within the speed allowance for it, and not having done that course for 3 years, and the offence not being in Scotland, where they are not offered.  Previous convictions/endorsements have no bearings.

Here is a tip TO ALL.
Red Lights spell danger.
Up ahead you see random red brake lights all at the same place for no apparent reason.
Why, everyone touches the brakes when they see the speed camera van.

Learn, red lights spell danger = speed camera.

Or just dont speed..

That lecture was brought to you by GoSafe co...

You won't change behaviour by lecturing, you just preach to the converted.

You’re forgetting the other phenomenon - people frantically flashing oncoming traffic to warn them of the presence of a speed camera van.  Even those who are doing the speed limit (or less).

The number of times I’ve wondered why I’m being flashed only to see a mobile speed camera further down the road.  

Most people couldn’t give two hoots about other road users, but when it comes to a potential speeding fine, they do anything they can to help.
