Or escaping the great fear porn virus.
I heard someone cough your honour, so thought doing 120 was the best available option.

Guess what I’m having for lunch out on the road all next week. …

Grow a pair and throw yourself on the mercy of the court. You’ll win yourself the admiration of everyone here and will find your fine paid by Sotonian largesse.

Explaining to 30 somethings that Tom and Jerry is better for the grandkids than Blippy.

Man up, ffs. Tell them to stick their fucking training, just pay the fine and take the points. It’s bad enough getting yourself nabbed, don’t let them humiliate you into the bargain by sending you in for detention like a naughty schoolkid :rage: :rage:

Thing is now, the only benefit of that is not having 3 points on your license.

You now have to declare training courses to your insurers and, I believe, they give you a certificate to show you’ve done the course that you have to show to your insurer.

I took the driver awareness course for my last misdemeanour and had to do it in Blandford, where I used to live when I were a kid some ~40 years ago. It was at the Adult Education Centre in Blandford. I rocked up there and realised it was my old middle school, which was no longer a school, what was worse was the course was held in my old classroom, which hadn’t changed a jot since I’d been a naughty 12 year old.

Now that did make me feel like a naughty school boy…

In all seriousness, cameras and the the sneaky bastards with their speed guns tend to be positioned where a number of serious incidents- especially fatalities have occurred,or where folks are working etc . Sure it’s frustrating when the nothing is around, but as most Police I have spoken with know, it’s not speed but inappropriate speed that is the big as danger… hence the speed traps.

So simple, just slow down. Traveling 30 miles at 60miles an hour takes 30mins, at 50mph it’s only 36mins - sorry but anyone who says they are so important those 6mins matter is a bit of a cunt really. Saves fuel as well so win win

I don’t know what to say Tigger, what a shitty thing to happen after getting the all clear. :frowning:
Needless to say, spoil him rotten and hope he has a reasonable amount of time to enjoy the time he has left.

Since when has 11:15pm on a Sunday been an acceptable time to deliver a package? Wouldn’t have minded as much if it was for me, but it was for a neighbour 4 doors away.

If it’s a cd from amazon, it’s unacceptable.

If it’s drugs or an emergency supply of viagra, then that’s perfectly reasonable.
