you could impress them with:

in one video the car in the high street slaps on his brakes and hits the person on the zebra crossing ;) hint the guy waking his dog in the foreground if the car had started braking when in line with the dogs ears would have stopped in time :lol:
their favourite trick question :lol: :P

i had 3 points about 5 years ago, my insurance never went up. i spoke to the operator on the phone and she basically said everyone makes mistakes.

Just received a letter today offering a speed awareness course in lieu of a fixed penalty and 3 points. For doing 36. :x Thing is I know I was doing less than that, but the risk of contesting it. :scaredtoss:

I did one of these courses about 6 years ago, I'd only beeen driving for two weeks.

got caught doing 34 in a 30. Not sure how much they cost now but when I did it it cost the same as the fine and it ran out of office hours so no lost earnings.

Just remember if you do do it you can 'fail' if you don't show willing to learn/change. Then you end up paying the fine, paying for the course and getting point's. But you have to be a right tit to fail, one guy failed mine but be did sit tbere openly saying it was a load of bollocks and he'll carry on speedjng but try harder not to get caught

there is something called cue database now

if you don't tell the insurance, they will find out anyway

then ask why you didn't tell them, same for claims
