Well , in the letter they sent me asking who was driving , there is guidelines about the appeal system and happens etc. In it it says that a speed awareness course can be offered instead of a fine and 3 points , only if you are caught doing 35 in a 30 .Funnily enough the speed I was doing was...........................................35 in a 30 ..................a bit coinsidental if you ask me cause I was behind a Sunday driver in a Metro when I got done and im positive i wasnt doing 35 .
So when I got the second letter I had a chioce , either 3 points £60 or speed awareness course costing £75 . I went for the latter. But Ive since found out that If I get done again for a similar speeding offence I cant do another speed awareness course for 3 years and have to have the points instead and the fine.
A friend of mine span off on the motorway and she got a choice of going to court for undue care and attention or a 2 day driving course costing £140 and she was actually considering going to court !!!! Cos a friend of hers said it will only be 3 points and £60 fine...............I dont think so . Anyway she saw sense and did the course !
