Hmmmm......I went through an overhead 40mph sign at 49 on the M1 yesterday, along with everyone else. The camera was flashing away....we'll see.

I did my speed awareness course 3 years 7 months ago. I might win another  :)

Still £90 though.  :(

I would wager that you didn't post a subsequent 'How to' on the internet afterwards... ::)

Quite right.  :y  ;D
That was another tongue in cheek post from me. It didn't really happen as I'm not like that.  ;)
Because, like me, you are a reformed character following your speed awareness course :P

We are model citizens when it comes to driving :)

Quite right.  :y
Since then I've been really careful.......... where I do it.   ::)

I did my speed awareness course and then promptly followed it up with another speeding fine and points.  ::)  As my insurance automatically renews (yeh I know that's wrong for competitiveness but I'm old and suffering from CBA) I genuinely  ::) forgot to notify my insurers of the SP30. My last offence was early in 2016 so all good so far but, as I recently added another car to the fleet I had to contact them. They asked me for a licence check code, which I obliged, and because they go back five years I got clobbered for extra.  ::) ;D  Hey ho, such is life.  :)

In 1980 when there was no dual carriageway on the 90 odd miles between J12 of the M1 and Halstead in North Essex, I did Liverpool docks to North Essex in 200 minutes (235 miles iirc) which I was quite chuffed with at the time.
I got chased by plod through some villages in around Herts. but I lost them.
Those were the days eh.

Used to get to Shoeburyness from here in just under 3hrs on a regular basis about 10yrs ago.Prior to that used to go to Halstead quite often as one of my sons-in-law originally came from there and indeed it's where the wedding was for him to become my son-in-law,can't recall the travel time to get there though.

I know a guy who got dinged at 78mph in a 70 a week or so ago - he got points and a fine because ...


... that's not fast enough to be offered the "education"! Has to be 79mph or more.. ;D

Last time for me was 36 in a 30, so maybe it depends on % over the limit.

I imagine it's region dependent, and for the force that issued his NIP is the course is only offered for 35-42mph (in a 30), 46-53 (in a 40), 57-64 (50), 68-75 (60) or 79-86 (in a 70). You'd still have been offered a course for your previous infraction, assuming these are new rules  :y

I hadn't realised I'd infracted. If I knew what it meant I wouldn't have done it, guvnor.  ;D
