You're assuming he's paying attention. Which it would seem he wasn't.
How'd you draw that conclusion?

But you must've had time to look at the back of the van before you'd passed it... shirley?

Yup, but they don't have "Speed Camera" in big letters on them, just a white hi-top van with black windows, one window open. Not identifiable as anythig untill I was closer to it

Aren't they supposed to be "identifyable"? Our here have the yellow/red strips down the back doors.

Might well have done, it did have "SAFETY CAMERA TEAM" on the front/sides but obviously I couldn't see those from my direction. From the back it just looked like any other van with some unidentifiable markings.
I'm not denying I was speeding, I'm not saying that speeding is good, I'm not going to question the ticket when/if it arrives. Whether the speed limit is justified or nececary on that road and whether enforceing it in that location is in the public interest is another matter, there a plenty of places in and arround the village where boy racers do drive inapropriately, but on the outskirts, next to a NSL, at the furthest point from any shops/churches/schools with a good 20-30ft of verge between the road and the boundary wall of the castle on one side and the building site on the other just seems a convenient place to catch lots of people.

Double or quits on speed awareness course Vs 3 points?

Course.
Prepared to be bored and patronised for a whole day. Fine is still the same

Ouch, but could have been a lot worse.

Points cheaper and less boring, doesn't effect insurance if you only have 3 points.

You reckon? Why do they insist on knowing then? I know they say it doesn't, but insurance companies are notoriously 'flexible' in their risk assessing. Any insurance company insiders on here?Posted 6 months ago # -

Makes a big difference to the price and to how much hassle it is to get a quote (which is already a pain as you need to contacts loads)Posted 6 months ago # -
Well at least it was a police van at the side of the road by the time you had seen it and got down to 30 and not a cyclist in difficulty or group of cyclists in the road or you would have ploughed into them. I have a feeling you are trolling though, but if not, shame on you.

Course - keep the license clear would be my thought. A significant number of jobs require "a clean driving license" so why take the points.
Although when I got 3 points it didn't make much difference to my insurance I'm sure it depends on a lot of other factors.Posted 6 months ago # -
Some of the sweepstakes are going to be a bit off. If the NiP letter doesn't arrive within 14 days at the registered keepers address you've got an outer.

Ok, you won't believe this however...
I was going through the usual quote process earlier this year with the AA as i'm already with them. The lady I was speaking to forgot to include 3 points I have for some reason (they've been on there 3 years already) anyhow, when she re-added them, the price came down £25! She did it three times to be sure!

Yup I'm speaking from experience of both me and Mr MC when we have each had 3 point sandi t's made diddly squat difference and lots of other experiences of the same clearly above!
