Cyclone Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well, that is two cars that do not overread then. Over reading is legal, everyone of my cars has over read. It would be closer to 8 though actually that do not under read. How many have you found to be under reading? Zero? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 OK, I been a naughty boy, I got caught doing 79mph on a motorway and now I have a choice. I can go on a speed awareness course or I can have 3 points on my licence. If I go for the speed awareness course it will cost £85, however if I go for the 3 points it will cost £60 and 3 points. On paper it seems the £60 is the obvious punishment, however if I have 3 points does this mean I have to pay more for car insurances premiums? Obviously, we want to keep our household costs down, and the last thing we want is a silly hike in our insurance because of a minor speeding offence Unfortunate getting done for 79 on a motorway..where was it?

Obviously, we want to keep our household costs down, and the last thing we want is a silly hike in our insurance because of a minor speeding offence If you are offered a course go for it. You are lucky to be offered at 79mph. All points count on your insurance and there is always a chance that 3 can become 6 etc. I currently have 15 points, and believe me that puts your premium right through the roof.
