I got points and pounds for 35 in a 30, first in over 30 years.

No consideration for a course. Safety my ****.

I well you might not get the a letter anyways.
Sarah got a flash and din"t get anything.(would have come to me as cars in my name).
So just relax and enjoy your bike and deal with it if you get NIP.

I got caught doing 52 in a 40 (sheffield - van parked up after a bypass) on a cbr125 with L's a year ago, i got the option for the course. Is it county specific when/for what they offer the course? A friend didn't get offered the course when he was caught speeding, but he requested to do it instead of the points and his requested got accepted.

As said its up to "The Man"
Your more likely get a course if mr plod has seen what your doing and conditions.
Cameras can't do that.

whilst we have cameras all over the place here (one not 500 yds from my house), a lot are inactive, of course you don't know which unless you find out the hard way, but as you say you know the road well, did you not expect it? the road markings as well as the normally bright colour and fixed location should have made it obvious , OK van's and cops with laser guns not withstanding, you really should be concentrating a bit better in my view, if you missed this (requiring a "lockup" braking maneuver) then someone doing something unexpected is a going to be far harder to spot.

Just my 2p worth.

as i said i was in my own world, at the last minute i remembered the camera but obviously was to late and it flashed me (rude) its completely my own fault so i'll take what they give me and learn from that

sorry but that's even worse "in my own world" isn't the frame of mind to be riding a bike in, you've proved you're less attentive, that's an unnecessary danger, and it's dangerous enough at the best of times, riding shouldn't be the second thing on your mind whilst you're doing it, I've got kitted up before now, gone out to the bike, sat on it and found I couldn't focus on riding just then, and got back off for a while until I could before riding, it's just not worth the possible ramifications.

Cheers Mark.

i was aware and in the right frame of mind but my mind almost went blank for a moment or two, i have no recall of what i was thinking about :/ and before i had chance to slow down it flashed me
