I got one some years ago (speed awareness course) and it was superb.
The presenter made me think, and established his credibility, when he said ‘most people on these courses have not been caught speeding in the traditional sense that we all think of, they have been caught for not slowing down quickly enough’.
He went on to clarify saying when looking at the specifics of many cases a very high number of motorists are bowling along for example around the 50MPH limit and see a 30MPH sign ahead and fail to start slowing early enough. Most of us lift at the 30 sign rather than reducing our speed so we are doing 30 when we pass it.
Exactly how I was caught! Van was just around the corner and pinged me, no argument.
