Caught speeding

All I can say is that it was true in my case, which was a few years ago. Please don't imply that I am a liar NotSpaghetti.

My dh made an appointment online for the nearest centre to us which he attended and found the course unexpectedly interesting than he had expected.
He was doing 36 mph in an unmarked 30 area which adjoined a marked 40 mph area. It wasn’t clear.

I wouldn't lend my car to anyone.
especially not a boy racer.
Speed kills.
Kill your speed.

Lots of people get fined for driving only a few mph over the speed limit - they're not necessarily reckless drivers.

The trouble is if they get away with a few mph it may steadily increase. People in my neck of the woods drive like maniacs, pulling all sorts of crazy stunts.

There was a case recently of a woman who was losing her licence and pleaded that as she was disabled she needed her car to get around. Well, as far as I am concerned, if you really need your car you take care to not lose your licence. Life is full of things we have no control over but driving lawfully is not one of those things.

Yes, they do.

The speed limits here go down and up like a fiddler's elbow so it's often difficult to keep IP (or down).

Many people got caught because a new 30mph limit was made on a main road but there were no warning signs at first from the approach roads to it so people were unaware.

There's a 50mph limit on stretches of motorway here - yet the rather narrow country roads around the area have a 60mph limit!

up not IP!

👍🏻
My husband was caught speeding 100 hundred miles from where we live. To be able to do the course and avoid points and fine he had to attend an awareness course in the county he was caught, which he did.

I'm sorry Magenta, I was not implying you are a liar!

I was saying I believe what you said was just incorrect.

I wouldn't say you were a liar and am truly sorry if that us what you thought I was saying.
Apologies.

I have just checked my assertion that you can go anywhere (or online)

The NDORS Offer Portal explicitly states you can take a course anywhere in the UK

you can use this site to find a course provider where you can then book and pay for your course

You can choose to take an available course anywhere in the UK.

Physical classroom courses will require you to travel to the course venue/location so you need to book a venue you are able to travel to and from on the day of your course.

Virtual (online) courses can be booked with any course provider as you attend from home.

It says that if you don't put your postcode into the mapping you can actually see and select courses all over the country.
I do hope this helps someone.

I would have done exactly the same as you. What if you'd lied and for some reason were found out? What if your grandson continued to drive at speed and had an accident - you would be blaming yourself for enabling him to not learn a lesson. It's not a pleasant thing to do but I think it was the only thing to do.

I can’t believe he asked you to lie and say that you were driving. Not only a speeding offence but trying to wriggle out of taking responsibility. If it was my grandson he wouldn’t be borrowing my car again any time soon.

I can well believe it.
Not to have done so would have been remarkable.
