Speed Awareness Courses

Hi Debi, You were within the parameters that would allow you to take the course, but whether you can do it depends if it's available in your area. Ayashsatellites, it sounds like you need to contact your local police department, they would have sent out the notice. You should be able to find their number online. All the Best, UK Net Guide

hi got a letter about me speeding but i lost the letter i been looking for the phone number ,,please help if you have the number send it to me i think its t l c or t c l not sure the name on the letter

I was doing 52 on an A road which had just changed from 60 to 40 without me realising. The opposite side of the road was still 40. I have just been sent a letter for a £60.00 fine and three points, am I elidgable for the speeding course?? Thank you

Hi Becca, The circumstances of your case mean that you should be eligible, but it is also a matter of whether courses are available in your area. As they are not offered everywhere it's not 100% that you'll be offered the course. All the Best, UK Net Guide

I was doing 37mph in a 30mph zone and have been driving for 14 months so under the 2 years. Would just like to no how reliable the information is on this site I.e that you can be doing 10% + 9mph and if it's under that you will 100% be offered the speed awareness course?....

Hi Luke, Hi Sophie, In both cases you should be offered the option to do the course as you were within 10% of the limit + 9mph. Let us know what your experience is like, or if things don't go as you'd expected. All the Best, UK Net Guide

I was caught doing 84 in a 70 will i have a chance to do the course? will i be offered to do it? it was in a company car and i havent seen the ticket yet.

its been 4 months since i passed my test did 50mph on 40mph dual carriageway no schools etc nearby and was in the fast lane overtaking missed the camera by mistake, i work at the bank and am under 25 female, will i be offered the driving awareness course instead of points??

I was just nailed bang to rights doing 40 in a 30 zone. The camera has been there years, and although it was only reduced from 40 to 30 a little while ago, I've driven past it OK every morning for the last 6 months. It was before 6 in the morning, I went to bed at 1 a.m., there was nobody else on the road and I was daydreaming. No excuses, I was bloody furious with myself when the flash woke me up; probably a good thing! Now I have the Notice of Intended Prosecution, and it says you can be eligible if: You were doing equal or less to +10% + 9mph. This is OK for me, as in a 30 zone this equates to 33 + 9mph = 42. The second factor is you haven't done a Speed Awareness course in the previous 3 years. I haven't. Assuming I'm offered the chance, I'll take it. I like my licence staying clean, and I just know my insurers will whack my premium up as soon as I tell them I picked up an SP30. £93.20 for the course, but probably worth it. I'll walk out if I have to get on my knees and grovel, but otherwise I'm going to stick it out. I feel like an idiot for speeding past a camera I knew was there and what the limit was. The opportunity to keep a clean licence and keep my insurance premium the same is great. I am beating myself up about it as it is, since I'm not a habitual speeder.

Hi Daryl, As you were over the speed limit by more than 10% + 9mph, you would not be eligible to take a course instead of points. All the Best, UK Net Guide

Just attended a course with a selection of speeders - 85 in a 70, 33 in a 30 plus others in 40,50 and 60 limits

I was in a 40mph zone I didn't realise I was breaking the speed limit, the police motorcycle gave me 3 points and fine because I was apparently doing 60mph. Rather than contesting and having to go court is there a way to do speed awareness? Thanks in advance

38 in a 30 caught out. Sat Nav read 35 but - I had just had massive wheelspin and torque steer at 25 mph. When I slipped it into 4wd (lock by mistake) the car surged to 35mph as it regained traction. 25 to 38mph in the distance is technically impossible in that gear. Did the car snapping back into line from a drift into the other lane over-trigger the camera? It all seems so bizare that the sat nav read 35, the speedo read came back to 32 which is the normal difference. Can a speedo be 6mph out and is that why I frequently get 'undertaken' particularly alongside buslanes?

Where are the courses held in Norwich?

I was caught doing 46mph on a 60mph road in a Hgv which us only allowed to do 40mph so would I be eligable for this course
