...do you automatically get offered one of them speeding courses? I think I just got done earlier, if I did I was doing about 40 in a 30. I would rather go sit in a room all day than take the points if possible.

you only get ofered the course if you haven't been caught before and it's within a certain amount over the limit.

a mate at work got done for 37 in a 30 and took the course.

Mine was first time but i guess 96 in a 70 must have been too much

i got 3 points and a fine also.. i was pulled over though caught well over the speed limit.. 53 in a 30 iirc.. (no excuse but i woke up late for work and have driven that road for 5 years or so)
I think you generally get offered the course if you get done by camera..

I'm mad at myself, the road didn't look like it would be a 30 and there was no limit signs but it defo flashed. I blame Adam_B for this

Ex was caught at 39/40 through the centre of Chorley by a camera, she was offered the course.

Her mum told the insurance she'd been on it though, and they put her premium up. I was somewhat surprised by this you might say.
