Speeding

  1. There are 3 different safety awareness courses. Speeding on normal roads, speeding on motorways, and jumping red lights. (Not sure if those are the exact titles).

    If you got caught speeding on normal roads, and then a couple of months later got caught speeding on a motorway, you could take the two different courses and avoid points on your licence. You cannot take the same course if you get caught for a similar offence within 3 years I believe.

    If you opt to take the course online, you can choose to take it anywhere in the country. Last time I looked, Newcastle had the cheapest course fee, but some people may struggle with the accent ;).

  2. Personally im still on the side of a strategically placed numberplate.
     
  3. Many moons ago when a custon plate was a rarity, you could buy a blank plate and the numbers and letters, we would put the right numbers on in the wrong order, despite being pulled for "Infringment of Ministry of Transport Regulations" for the plate size, never got done for a wrong reg. I remember one policeman having the booklet out at the roadside, then the standard "Producer" swap the plate, show it to an MOT tester then take the producer to the Police Station. To get done for speeding would amount to a police car chasing you down the road for a certain distance, never happened.
