Looks like I'll be doing a Speed Awareness Course

I did one myself about a year ago. First time I'd been done for a decade, but you know what ? I really enjoyed it.

I think it depends on who runs it, but the course I attended in Eastleigh was by two coppers, one retired and one still serving, and they used humour for a lot of it which made the day go quicker and also meant you'd remember a lot more than you would imagine going in.

Really interesting day and it confirmed a lot of "the law" for me, things you probably haven't thought about regularly since passing your test however many years ago.
I also found myself driving in a more controlled and FAR more aware way afterwards.

I'd done some advanced driving in the past so I'd like to think I was decent anyway, but the "stick to thirty" thing is something I try and do all the time now. Makes me laugh how it winds up other people too, which is always fun


Go in with an open mind, talk to a few people before sitting down and make sure you're with a few decent people and you'll enjoy it

Was in a line of about 7 cars doing 30 mph. We got on a straight stretch and I saw that the lead car had a completely empty road ahead but was only doing 30 mph. I thought, 'what's Rigger doing up here'.
