they offered me one for 36 in a 30 but I elected to take the points instead.
To be honest I envisaged sitting in a room being patronised and shown photo's of crashes caused 'by speeding'. All done by blokes making an easy living from such courses. And the first time anyone involved asked a "And who knows why that is?" type question they'd have to restrain me with a tranquilliser gun.

when i got caught i was going to take the points for the same reason as you listed, then i had a change of heart and did the course. Even though it was a waste of time it weren't no where near as bad as i thought.
I then got caught doing the same speed on the same road a few months later :rolleyes
