OT Speed awareness courses

Well that used to be the case, now they f*ck about with those stupid twenties. I guess they think kids are more retarded nowadays.

I do 40 when it says 20, just to annoy the folk living there. And if there's speed bumps, I do 40, 1, 40, 1, 40, 1, in a low gear.

Take the average, get a GPS, or ignore your speed.

I think you may be obliged by law to tell them, not sure tho. In any case, it would provide an excuse for them to invalidate your insurance. What does their small print say?

Like that would make me do it. I broke the sped limit, why follow the law for this?

It doesn't seem to. I don't think they check. I've had a number of claims against me, and they've never made a fuss. Maybe they can't if it's a third party claim - I've never made a claim myself.

I never read smallprint, I only speak English.

No,they just didn't ask you. They checked your details with the DVLA. They also checked whether you'd ever made a claim or declared a stolen vehicle, using the insurance industry database without telling you.

Usually something along the lines of "If you fail to tell us about

*anything*, or change your address or any other detail, we'll cancel your insurance."

Bullshit. Or my premium would have increased and/or I would have had a nasty letter.

I'd just say I forgot, although they never noticed.

You really love making sweeping, WRONG statements, don't you?

Ok, so I misread dual in the post above. But you get the idea.

And that picture proves that you made a WRONG statement. Again.

I hate to think how many mistakes you make on the road.

Bob Eager

One of those is correct.

Back to what I said. Why do you think it would be unlikely for someone to forget? Especially if you got the points halfway through your insurance year. Who's going to remember to phone them up? You'd be too busy cursing at the fine.

Same on my course.

The website clearly states a single carriageway is 60mph.

On a road you see the road, not a label telling you what it is. You can't misread it.

Sometimes you have to read the label, too. there's a mile stretch of dual carriageway near here which has 50mph signs posted.

We had this discussion.... I actually do use third for most *built up area* 30mph limit driving. A five speed gearbox in a relatively small engined car. Well inside the torque range if you need to accelerate and enough engine braking to not speed up on downhill stretches.

That's a number, and less likely to be misread.

And you don't have to read the label, unless the satnav makes a noise to warn you it's got a camera.

It was some years after the change before I realised:-( Blame it on poor publicity?
