Speed awareness courses

[rogets]

If you do the speed awareness course then you wont have to pay as much on your car insurance for the next few years

 

So its worth it if you look at it from that point of view

[*Wallace*]

Are you supposed to tell insurance if you've been on one ?

What did you learn that you didn't know as a matter of interest?

I have never been on a course, but Mrs. Jeremy has been on plenty!

 

just a few odds and sods that you forget from when i passed test, like how to recognise speed limits when there are no signs, 30 is easy with lampposts but dual carriageways and national speed limit roads can change.

stopping distances and reactions are still the same as in 1968 even though we think we can stop quicker with advanced vehicles. all in all it was ok

I did one in February and was not initially offered this facility till I asked.It really is a box standard teaching on what to watch for and when to watch for it.It just gets you to try and remember the basics.It will never stop you from having a momentary lapse in concentration that we all have.There were some there though that did not embrace the reason behind it and thought it a real hinderance to their day,and seeing it was their second time there just did not think that there was anything to learn.

 

i thought you were only ever offered the course once?

The chap taking the course did say that if anyone on the course was caught speeding within a three year period then the there would be no offer of another course.You have probably guessed that there were repeat offenders.It was easy to see that they would continue to drive above the speed limit no matter what.

Slow learner Ron?

[Magilla]

after just spending 4 hours at a speed awareness course for being 6mph over the limit what are others views and experiences?

 

I found mine to be quite informative (I'd forgotten a few things), and was impressed at how non-judgemental the whole thing was.

[geared]

Yes there is some time limit between courses, might differ between areas?

 

I have a few friends that have been on them, they all said the worst part were idiots on the course arguing with the course leader (or each other).
