Luckily I haven't had any points, as waiting for my three to come off in July. However I did get a word of warning as I went round a corner "to quick". I was doing the speed limit :whistle:

I've been on a course, but not got any points just yet. Annoying thing was that I got caught doing 36 in a 30 zone, and I normally don't speed in 30 zones. I'm fairly surprised I've not been caught elsewhere though :whistle:

The course was a bit of a sore point with me though, because I was 24 (and thus between 17 & 24) I was put on the new young drivers awareness course rather than a speed awareness course. Thus I was taught not to drink drive, not to use my phone when driving, to always wear my seatbelt and to drive according to my car/experience/conditions.... all things I follow pretty religously anyhow :-\

Gus got a speeding ticket through the post  :'(
I think i'll do the speed awareness course (£80) but saves me getting the points :thumb:

Speed awareness,I know I was doing 82 thats why the nice man took a photo of me and GUS.

I would love to see the photo, I would have had a big smile on my face, I always have a big smile on my face when I am in GUS.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

I do not think its big or clever to speed :whistle:

23 years - nil points.

Inteligence gathering and early observations are a must. ( and treat every dark coloured volvo/ bmw/ vectra like it is the grim reaper)  :whistle:

Helps that North Yorkshire has NO fixed cameras at all  :thumb: (fact)
