I got nicked some weeks back for doing 37 mph in a 30 mph zone by a speed camera. I was given the option to attend a 3 hour course for the same cost as the fine, 60UKP, but wouldn't have the 3 points on my license.
Well, as requested, I'm reporting how it went. It was fine, basically. The staff made an effort to be friendly from the moment people entered the room, tea and biscuits and good humour were laid on. There wasn't any judgement, or attitude, and it was quite an informative 3 hours.
Apparently if I'd done 40 mph I'd have had no choice and automatically been dealing with our friends in blue.
So for what its worth - it gets my vote, even with the 100 mile round trip.
Better still, don't get nicked. :)
All the best, Angus Manwaring. (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)
