Well there is one glimmer of hope, the old bill get paid overtime to sit in the vans at roughly double time, the government are knocking back the OT payments to standard day rate for all OT hence the cries of rage and the threatend no more front line wooden tops. Ho hum.

Key part here is 'used to be'.
Read your documents and unless you have a very lax policy, it will be stated that you MUST inform them.

Regarding the course, the letter says i must produce a photocard driving license - anyone know why?... and all i have is the old paper one, and it says i must reply within 7 days.... so i'm not gonna get a photocard license in 7 days, so decision made for me !!!

I did the course. It was £60, the same as the fine. It was very interesting, and I enjoyed it.
For the record, I was doing 33 in a 30.
I'm not saying how many times I drove through the same camera that week
First speeding offence in 25 years.

Incidentally, is that the first time you've gone over the speed limit, or the first time you've been caught over the speed limit?

Im still curious as to why you can break the law, but unless your caught, you have not.
Excuse my ignorance.

I got three points four years ago, duely informed my insurer. No change to the premium for that year, had about 5 months left to run for the year, but no way of knowing if it affected the renewal quote.
I have heard that some insurers ignore the first three, but could be a
myth. I'm sure these days they would use any excuse to up the premium.

I have just been offered a speed awareness course. £80 and no points. Definitely worth it.
Breaking the speed limit is a choice it is not compulsory.
Financially speaking - do the course.

I don't know about the speed awareness course but I have been on one with the police driver via my company part of the training hours owing back to company, anyway, like most people we think we know it all regarding our driving habit, it was very interesting, one of them was when to change lane not because of heavy traffic, it's all about knowing what going to happen ahead of you!
