Think I may have been busted too.

Drove into Nottingham and was too late spotting a Talivan... fecking 8pm, no other cars, doing 37mph on a dual (30 mph).

To be honest I was just dawdling along not paying any attention.

Will be gutted when I receive another 3 points.

Will put me on 6 points... and I feel it's one of those fines that I really didn't deserve... maybe a slap on the wrist for lack of concentration.

Will wait the painful 2 weeks now... maybe the scamera operator wasn't a complete tool???

Just once, it's 60 quid but at least you don't get points. Just 3 hours long and a lot of videos, I just hope they don't show me any accidents as I may faint with the site of blood

Ditto.
Booked on a course backend of January.
Should be fun - coffee break - the Hilton don't do coffee.

You can only do one course in 3 years.


The one I did in Dorset this year was so quaint... When it came time to see the videos, they were all ones that had been shown on TV, but we were told we could leave the room if we thought we might get upset

The only film I hadn't seen before was about a 21yr old biker who hit a 3 series head on and was killed. Sad story but I wasn't sure of its relevance to the Dorset pensioners who were on my course.

Thankfully the whole thing was only from 9-12 in the morning and I quite enjoyed the drive there and back
