After my brush with the speed camera van, instead of the usual 3 points and £70 fine, I got the option of going to a Speed Awareness seminar instead of prosection.
So I went for it, as you don't get 3 points, you just pay for the seminar. Seemed a better option, as I'd just got rid of the last 3 points.
I was expecting a lecture from a Policeman, but instead 2 driving trainers gave the presentation. I was good and quite informative, so I quite enjoyed it, even though it was 4hrs long. Tea and coffee was provided, so that was good.
Did you know that the latest gen of Speed cameras can pick you up at a mile and a half?
The only annoying thing was the camera van that got me was parked on the same stretch of road again as I drove to the seminar. I wasn't speeding this time, once bitten twice shy.
Hopefully he got the hire van driver who answered a mobile call at the previous roundabout, and pulled out onto it, without looking then sped off into the path of the camera van.
Hopefully justice will have been done
