Oof welp got my first ever speeding ticket
Was doing 40 in a 30 section of a varaible motorway (as was everyone else, which distracted me) but I got a letter in the post today about it. Minimum £100 fine and 3 points on my license. :|
Lesson learned I guess but I've gotta keep myself clean for at least another 12 months otherwise I'll lose my licence and will be back to square one.
@renbymon Not even an option for a speed awareness course? o.<
@Jencen @KrllGojira The FAQ they gave me says that it will be up to them, but I am at least within the threshold for one. If they offer it I will take it.
@renbymon @KrllGojira Fingers crossed. Is easilly done >.< Have very rarely seen a motorway get below 40. And is very easy to get caught up in the speed of everyone else >.<
@renbymon Did they not give you the option of a speed awareness course? It's a one off course, costs almost the same as the fine, but you don't get three points.
@renbymon for a first offence you’re USUALLY offered a speed awareness course….so fingers crossed
@renbymon Sorry to hear, bud. Like Jencen said, it's easily done when the whole pack is speeding or the speed signs change suddenly. Hope you get the chance to do the course instead of the points.
Just to clarify, it's a notice of intent to prosecute and though the FAQ does say that they may offer me a speed awareness course instead it is entirely at their discression. I will take it if they do offer it.
