I did one of those a few years ago. It was what I expected - turn up, keep your mouth shut for a couple of hours and try not to get caught in future.

From what I've heard it's more of a presentation. Pretty much an automatic pass if you just turn up and listen to what is being said. Think of it as the domestic installer assessment of the motoring world.

Cheers Guys more or less what I will expect, if it's any different I'll be down your way dishing out stick lol

Can you fail?

Doubt it

Been there done that. It is worth listening to, and yes the course has slowed me down but not for the reasons you may think. The bit that has stuck with me is, if you exceed the national limit by 10mph or more your fuel consumption can increase by 25%. At 25 to 27 mpg that is a big ouch. As I say it is worth listening to and taking seriously. To pass turn with your speeding summons and driving licence, easy peasy.

I would suggest that insufficient signage on the roads is partly to blame. My last ticket was for 50 in a 40 - a wide rural road with no signs visible!

Mine was 35 in a 30mph limit

Can you fail?

Yes.
You have to arrive at the stated time and not leave before the stated end time or nip out during the day unless permitted by the Scam running the course.
Yes they're all privatised.

Thanks for the advice

 

[Sintra]

Do they charge you for the course?

OK Pete you are a respected Sparks. But 30mph is set for a reason, its a maximum, it's set for a reason. There are plenty of "cash cams" set up to collect extra revenue, but if its in a 30mph zone then just admit its irresponsible and learn the lesson matey.

Yep instead of a £110
