All those audi driving middle aged birds.....

Cost me a saturdays fishing last summer
Would've preferred to take the 3 points and 60 quid but the wife made me go
All pretty patronising stuff really...my only tip would be to join in as it makes the time pass more quicklyOoh a new vid!

I did one down wessington way.
Couple of things I took from it.
Blokey "teaching" informed us Northumbria only prosecute if 10% over limit plus 2. So 35 in a 30. 57 in a 50 etc. Two people on with me were advised to appeal as they were within this.
The mobile vans are council owned but are operated by police. He was adamant that the mobile vans weren't money maker, but they were a deterrent to slow people down? But he couldn't say why these vans are sneakily parked up or why they aren't more visibly marked up/advertised.
I was done by an unmarked van, on way back from hebburn marina!! So with having a clean licence I did the course.
3 weeks after course I got caught again. Sp30. Ffs.

Not denying it mate, that's just what he told us on the course.
Like I said, there were two on that he told they should appeal.

I have to say tho the guy who did the course was quite funny at times and didnt patronise. He agreed with quite a few negative points that were raised.
A few interesting tips were mentioned first thing i did was remove the baby elephant from the parcel shelf 😏 lol

I did mine at Cramlington years ago, boring to say the least. I got snapped by a mobile van in Newcastle on Barracks road where the speed limit keeps chopping and changing, same deal - 35 in a 30
If I remember rightly you're only allowed to do the course once every 3yrs.
