No, at the time it was more.Is that less than your insurance premium would go up with 3 points added?

I told them I would lose money attending the course. Their response was "It's your fault for speeding"...
Bad drivers, imo, never learn. Do you think drunk drivers learn a lesson if they get stopped by the police? I know at least one who has driven drunk after being stopped, sent through the courts, disqual'd etc.. And they go back for more. Another got disqual'd and carried on regardless.
Irrelevant. Higher speed kills.Most accidents happen at low speed.
If I don't log any improvement in your attitude, you will get the points on your license AND have no refund of the course
Don't confuse impact speed with free travelling speed. Motorways carry the most traffic at the highest speeds with the fewest casualties.Irrelevant. Higher speed kills.
Wasn't aware of it and even now I am I'm not sure I understand it....A smart arse might have asked her if she was aware of Sec 127 of the Magistrates Act 1980 (1)
For those calling for tougher driving tests or more frequent tests. I assume you have all done and passed an advanced driving test? Its cheaper than the speed awareness / driver improvement course.
I used to race motorcycles hitting speeds in excess of 180mph. Why did I feel so much safer on the track than I ever have on the highway?
Cause everyone’s going the same way?
Everyone’s had a briefing?
No ones driving on the phone?
Cause your so fast there was no one near you?
The appeal to authority argument you present doesn't dismiss everyone elses ability to spot poor driving.
If one can so easily spot bad driving - not over confident it won't happen to me bad driving but I don't know what the hell I'm doing bad, is it not a genuine concern that the driving test as is might be allowing people to drive unaccompanied who simply aren't equipped to do so?
]I could never work out why so few pedestrians are killed on our motorways.....
