Default Speed Awareness Course or 3 Points?
Got the option.

Have plugged for the course, my licence is almost clean now so I'll save my points for later.

58 in a 50 zone Preston New Road (A583) Scamera van (I didn't see him).

feckit. never mind factoring in being lectured by some bellend about how lethally fatally bad speeding is


I suppose this depends on your age. Im 23 so i suppose 3 point on my license could throw my insurance up quite a bit on the S, so id say do the course.

I'd do the course purely out of curiosity.

Can we expect a write up?

Who knows, you may even learn something?

And you have the opportunity to ask them why they don't cover all aspects of road safety....

But wouldn't you have to declare the speeding offence on your next insurance application? Or does it only count as an offence if you get points for it?
