3 points at a rough guess

sometimes they give you the speed awareness course, but not always

sometimes you get the option of the speed awareness course of around 90 pound but no points on licence, think you can only do this once every 3 years though maybe wrong

3 points and iirc Ł60 fine, I don't think you will get the option of awareness coarse as you are to much of a percentage over speed limit, I think coarse is only 10% over limit max.

In my nip for doing 46 in a hgv on the a15 50 mph for cars 40 mph for hgv, it stated to be offered a speed awareness course you could be a max of 13mph over the posted limit and not been done within the last 3 years,Ł90 for the course and no points or Ł100 and 3 points! don't know if it was Ł100 because I was in hgv? But heard the fine has gone up from Ł60 to Ł100 across the board, Guess what one I chose!!

You may get offered a speed awareness course for about 90 quid. Worst case it's 3 points and oddly insurance companies don't seem to care less about a speeding conviction, even my ban for speeding caused no effect to my premium.

doesn't particularly affect your insurance anyway if you're an older gentleman, so not worth worrying about

Speedo 80 will be about 76 in real terms, you'd be unlucky to get nabbed for that.

True, my ban from 2012 made not a jot of difference to my insurance or the Mrs to have me as named driver.

When I was 19 I got caught doing 38 in a 30 and got offered the course, usually they do if your license is clean.
