Money well spent in that case - I wish it had been an option when I got done!

I totally agree. IMHO the option of a course should be offered to any first offender. I believe the course is only offered for those doing 35 or 36 in a 30.
To my mind someone doing 39 is in more need of the traning.
I also be quite happy with a scheme of say. A fixed Penalty that is a warning not to be caught in the next say 12 Months. So basically if you are caught on Camera they issue the fixed penalty. But you don't have to pay it unless you commit a second offence in the12 Months.
Another alternative I thought of was
before you get snapped you take the course and that gives you one exemption from a Fixed Penalty for the next 12 Months.

Tom,
We've already done that by reading the Highway Code and passing the Drivering Test.
There is no excuse really for disobeying the Laws of the Land. Don't get me wrong here as I've amassed many points and several lengthy disqualifications over the years all to my cost. Even going into bancrupcy once because I was stupid.
As a construction design engineer specialising in highways, we attempt to make the highways of this country for
all users as safe as possible, and yes I agree, we do make mistakes. Not many of us would agree, but I allways put my hand up and have never passed the buck onto a lackie.
There are many instances where the signed speed limit appears inappropriate. But, the signed limit is the Law. If there is no signed limit and there is street lighting,
TREAT IT AS 30 MPH.If you are caught speeding by a camera, you have little chance. If you are caught by a Police Officer, you may be able to talk your way out of it. I have.
