I better stop doing 65 on the motorway in my boxer then haha! People are wizzing past me in even bigger vans too!

They don't die, they just get faster!

You can do 70 on the motorway Shauna.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

With regard to insurance companies and speed awareness courses if you do not inform them that you have had one it gives them an excuse to disallow any claim.
Do you really want to risk it ?

I remember the first time I got points for speeding and telling the insurance company at the time. The reply I got was "SP30, everyone has got one of them!" updated my records but no additional premium due; I think I was 22 or 23 at the time.

Can't think it has made a huge impact on my premium over the years having speeding points to be honest

I was 21 and got caught doing 38 in a 30. I didn't get the offer of the course, just 3 points and a fine. It didn't affect my insurance thou.

From gov.uk:-
Goods vehicles (not more than 7.5 tonnes maximum laden weight) 70mph (112kph)

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Rob and Tom. That is good news, but I still reckon it is good practice to tell them anyway.

An insurance contract is, in law, a contract "uberrimae fideii" which means utmost good faith and requires that both parties reveal all and any information that MAY be relevant.

End of pompous rant.

I only half read but I thought it said you could only do 60, ah well!

haha yep sure is full of thrives with the amount of taxes we have...

The criteria for eligibility for the course differs from County to County. It used to be that the course cost more money than the points, but since August last year when they put 3 points fixed penalty up to £100 speed school is cheaper.

A division of the AA run the courses and also manage the data base of who has attended speed school. I do know two people who were offered the course twice in 6 weeks because the data base had not been updated.

Some insurance companies ask you if you have been to Driver Awareness - I had selective memory failure on that question - but earlier in this post someone else said that a discount on your insurance is available.

Good luck Dan.... hope you get the course!

cheers, got the course in a few weeks. nice way to spend 4 hours of my day off! never mind, could be worse!!

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
