Aren't they just sending a letter out telling you off instead of sending you on a course?
Just while the tender process for the contract of supplying courses is complete. Doesn't seem like a problem to me, no points and no course fees either!

Speeeding in Avon and Somerset? Bollocks, they've got some of the worst roads in the country, you'd snap all your wheels off in potholes before you got past 30mph!

paul i know where is said but i was asking has the government scrapped it ?

i have a clean licence and wanna keep it that way just fucking annoyed i wasnt technically speeding as such just fucked up on the tunnel i was entering,,,,,,, not long before that i was proper speeding which if i got caught would have seemed fair, ah well ive had a clean licence for 7 years now so bound to get a few points i guess
