Rant of the day

Wish I'd had the option of a speed awareness course

 

I'm actually suprised you weren't offered the chance considering so long since your last speeding offence, you can't be offered within a four year term of your last awareness course.
But I was 10 mile over too doing 40 in a 30 zone, so being the same mph over and all that,
But it's stated it's at there discretion and a course is not always offered.
Can't unfortunately argue with police laws no matter how wrong they are.

 

The actual offence was in May but due to the fact it was a hire car and further to that was booked through work it has taken this long to finally get to me and sorted so I suspect the lengthy delays meant that any offer for a speed awareness course had long since gone

 

Thanks for that, yes times definitely been against you stopping your chance of being offered a SAC.

 

ACPO guidelines are 10% + 2mph, BUT they are only guidelines. I sent a freedom of information request to West Mercia and they said their static cameras and camera vans use these guidelines, but there's a copper on a marked bike who hides up in 30 limits around the Wyre Forest area that has a camera/speed gun and I know a nunber of people who've been done for 32 in a 30. Nasty man.
