FFS how to put a dampner on things. That's real sh1t news Kev. I am down to 3 points now from 9. The worst thing of all is that it can hinder one getting driving jobs. I think they need to reduce the years that points remain on a license to maybe 1 year considering how easy it is to get nabbed by camera's these days. Is it not enough that they make money out of them.

if you opt for the speed awareness there's no points or fine, just the cost of the course to paykev64 wrote:Just got my options back through, Looks like ill be going for the speed Awareness course

Eat and drink as many biccies and tea/coffee as possible to offset the cost of the 'course' and you'll need to behave (or not get caught) for the next 3 years otherwise it's points and fines.
Fury over speed camera racket as police pocket £54MILLION a year by 'blackmailing' drivers to attend speed awareness courses
Fury over speed camera racket as police pocket £54MILLION a year by 'blackmailing' drivers to attend speed awareness courses
• Police pocketing millions from drivers attending speed awareness courses
• Last year 1.3million drivers were sent on the controversial one-day session
• Number of attendees has almost trebled in just five years it has emerged
Police forces are pocketing tens of millions of pounds by ‘blackmailing’ motorists to attend speed awareness courses, it has been revealed.
They received £54 million last year alone by sending more than 1.3 million drivers on the controversial one-day sessions.
The startling figures explode the myth that chief constables have no interest in snaring motorists because all fines go directly to the Treasury.
Instead, they are quietly making millions by undercutting the Government-imposed fine and offering tempting places on ‘touchy-feely’ courses at hotels instead.
Police forces receive £40 for each attendee in most cases as a ‘cost recovery element’, with chief constables able to spend the money in any way they see fit.
The courses, which cost drivers between £79 and £200, often involve watching videos, role-playing workshops and presentations. There is no test to pass and adverts promise a ‘relaxing environment’.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Still waiting for the magistrate's court date.
It looks likely that I'll still have a license for the Cadwell track day, though, as they will probably give me a week or two's notice.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
