When I went to one a few years ago there was one guy turned up late. He kicked off when they wouldn't let him in. He tried to hit one of them so they arrested him and the police took him away. The tutor said he smelt of drink too. It certainly made it interesting. I got a letter of apology in the post a few weeks later for the disruption to the course, lol.
Not this one

The central reservation can be as small as a curb. Street lights mean 30 UNLESS there is a small repeater sign on them. For example on a motorway with street lights, you should see small 70 signs on them. If not then assume it's 30.at least that's what I remember. ☺
Frosties, I will pay good money for you to take a video camera there, and pretend you have severe tourettes
Only a solid barrier makes it a Dual Carriageway and a 70 mph speed limit.A grass verge or similar makes it a two lane road (not a dual carriageway) and a 60mph speed limit unless otherwise stated.
My son turned up late for his, and got told it was none attendance. He was told also that he could pay for another course, or accept the fine/points.Wife attended one in the car, and felt like she was in detention at school. The instructor continually patronized her and said she was driving wrong! We also had a friend of mine who's a police advanced bike instructor attend the course, his blood was boiling by the time he got back from it. He said they were obnoxious tw@'s that didn't care what his qualifications were, and came out with a lot of bullshit about speed, and even some 'facts & figures' which were not entirely true. One being the mobile phone argument! Bell ends! My local one looks like it's full of Hitler wannabe's! I'm sure they're not all like that though by the sound of it.

this has now become Frosties goal on the course to give them stick about the point

As above really Frosties,How come foreign drivers never get pulled over for speeding and sent on these courses?
