Well don’t do what my husband did, one of his thicker friends suggested he write a letter and liberally sprinkle capital ‘A’ throughout in the shape of the Masonic symbol. Sort of â€Ķâ€Ķâ€Ķâ€Ķ

As I was Ambling down the A127 An Amber Antelope suddenly Appeared which Amazed me and due to Apprehension And Anticipation etc etc.


Anyway he got 3 points & fined. Soppy sod’s not even in the Masons.Laugh

You still pay ÂĢ60 to go on the course but you don't get the 3 points on your licence.

It's worth making enquiries.


I think you have to hit a certain milegae. For example my hubby was driving down a 30mph zone, an old boy was creeping along the road, he overtook JUST where speed camera was, think he was doing 35-36mph and he was sent a fine for 60 plus 3 points.

But he was offered the course cos it was his first offence and because of the mileage that was caught on camera, he was told any faster and he wouldn't have been offered it.

He loved the course btw, he said it was really good.

Now you see this is where the problem lies, my maths is a bit shit Frowner But I'll bear that in mind, thanks Deej. Really annoyed me having to stay around 80 on the way back and took AGES Mad

Ah, that's just a perception. If you drive at a steady 80mph and you have 100 miles to cover then it takes 1 hour 15 minutes. If you drive at 90mph then the same journey takes 1 hour 7 minutes. At 80mph, you can relax in the inside lane, with an empty safety lane on the left, skirting trucks to keep you busy and forgetting about the police. If you drive at 90mph then you'll be in the outside lane, speeding up and slowing down, watching for last minute over-taking, keeping your eye out for police, and having road warriors driving inches off your back bumper. To save just 8 minutes. Smiler

I agree, there's a speed limit for a reason.
Sorry about your brother.


Thank you Cerberus

I had a policeman call me 'sonny' a year or so back, when I was sat by the side of the road on my Enfield, minding my own business and 'aving a fag....

He did apologise...after I flashed my cleavage licence at him.

I'm sorry it's upset you, however I was on a clear road with no other cars around me. If it was a built up area or residential road where I was a clear risk to other motorists or pedestrians then I can understand. But I wasn't.
