I like, to quote the police bike cop I did a day's session with a few years back, to 'make progress' and as I was following the bloke, this really did mean exceeding the limit but not excessively. Mostly on A roads with a bit of motorway in Somerset and was a total blast. It genuinely improved my riding. But if we'd got zapped by a camera, a fine and points would be presumably been handed out though if it had been a hand held and we'd been pulled in, would matey have got his warrant card out? Possibly.....
Last week I got done by a sodding camera van (in my car) on the Evesham bypass - 69 MPH in a 60 zone. Should have woken up to the odd character flashing lights at me - idiot. The third time (once on a bike) in 35 years of driving /riding. But wait.... what was this white form within the bumpf that landed on the doormat - an invite to a 'speeding course': £85 and no points....a no brainer. Certainly means I'm much more aware of exceeding the limit which I frequently do on the bike and in the car. I even bought a radar detector a few years back but it was pretty useless. A jammer would have been short term fun but totally illegal of course.
Will be interested in how they conduct the course - ritual humiliation or genuinely useful? We shall see. Anyone out have a view on the course?

If, after such a course of corrective training, you again dare to exceed the stated speed limits, you are locked up and they loose the key. As for the insurance charge...

9 or 10 years inside? Got off lightly cos he was the getaway driver - would have been 20 if he'd just been speeding. Cynic? Me?
