Speeding Awareness Course

Take the course. Who knows when you will be caught again? The points can stack up.
Just spend your time pointing out that speeding makes you a better driver as you concentrate more. And being a motorway the speed limit should be 100. Going at 30mph in a 30mph zone causes way more deaths than 100mph on a motorway(at 20mph most survive, 30 its 50/50 and at 40 most die).
And that far too many resources are spent on catching speeders. In LLandudno, only about 50% of drivers stop at pedestrian crossings! North Wales Stasi only care about speeding....Comment

The course is about learning to become a safer driver. It's primarily focused on the smaller town road rather than motorways.
Yes it's mostly boll&cks.
But it'll stop you accumulating points and that's really what matters, especially if you get caught doing 90mph+ next time.
As for the insurer. The man from Del Monte, he say Non.Comment

I was doing over the speed limit by a fair bit but as you said was perfectly safe, hardly any cars, good weather and not driving erratically.Comment

Do the course, you don't want 3 points on your licence, and in any case it would be a good idea, nothing worse than missing a speed limit sign on a country road to find you're over the limit and end up with a ban.I'm alright JackComment
