About a month ago my Dad got flashed doing 36 in a 30.
Letter came giving him the option of 3 points and Ł60 fine or speeding awareness course and Ł60 fine.
He did the course, I think he said it was 3 hours long and free coffee/tea aswell!

My ex-father-in-law got done for speeding. That was 36 in a 30 zone and he had the choice. He took the course too, but 3 points shouldn't do anything to your insurance, but if you have the points you do run the risk for the next 3 years of getting more and then increasing your insurance

My uncle also got flashed and had the option of 3points/Ł60 fine or Speeding awareness course/Ł60 fine.
He choose to do the course, paid his Ł60 and forgot to turn up! He hasn't heard anything since, was 4-5months ago.
I suppose they don't care once they have your money.

was it near two petrol stations - one on each side of the road if so that is London Road and you may get lucky as my old dear years ago sped thru that without realising and never got a ticket.

the course depends on what yu've done
first up, wait for the letter to arrive
in some cases, if it's your first offence or whatever, the offer of the course is available, but sometimes not depending otn eh speed you've been clocked at
bloke at work got clocked twice for speeding, once locally and once n liverpool, on the same day
he got speed awareness courses letter options for both offences
