my father was riding in epping & got done by a speed camera 38 in a 30:angry:
but essex police have writen to give options
1, £60 + 3 points
2, £60 + 3 hours speed awareness scheme (no points)
or court case.
can you guys tell me more about option 2. whats it about? do you book it or they give you a date.
thanks
Not too sure what it’s all about but I’d grab Option 2 without a second thought !
+1
I would go for option 2 as you`ll still have a clean licence.
Option 2, no doubt about it.
i would take option 1 :laugh:if they take option two all the speed awareness is that your in a classroom with a load of other people and they show you videos and other stuff to do with driving, and maybe a few accident pics aswell and a few talks about speeding they think this will help you not wanna speed no more go for option two,
You’ll just have a word to get the ticket wiped, ya cheeky so and so!
But option 2 sounds good to me though
From what i have heard Ginger has it covered.But i think the best advice really for you father, if he is tempted to tear around in a 30mph limit:cool: at speeds of 38mph :w00t:is next time, make proper observations, and DONT GET CAUGHT:D:Whistling:
wife did the speed awareness course, she felt she learnt from it and it means no points, why would you chose any other option ? unless you werent speeding 
thanks people:) my dad is goin to do the 3 hours speed awareness. he just wanted to know what is about
I got done on exactly the same camera in Epping and got offered the speed awareness course as an alternative to 3 points.It was 3 hours on a weekday morning,they don’t have Police doing it as it would end up as a slanging match about speed cameras.Two very nice chaps talk to you,free coffee and biscuits etc.The whole day is geared around why 38mph can be dangerous,stopping distances,and how the extra mph can be the difference between life and death. A little quiz about speed limits,some very strange answers there and you’re away.I thought not too bad and better than 3 points on your license.Very easy to book once you accept the offer,pay your £60 at time of booking.Remember to take driving license,they do check. If you’re like me admit your occupation:blush: to show that it can happen to anyone,no favoritism
I wish I had been given the option of “rehab” when I picked up 3 points last summer:Whistling:
I’ve done option 2 in Northamptonshire.
Pack your bags mate - you’re going on a guilt trip.
Obviously too much right hand,you should learn to control yourself like;) me and not abuse the fine traffic laws of the land
No, not at all mate, was only 42 in a 30 in my jam jar.The big one was the year before on M11;)
cheers people for your help:) as we all know, we’ll all drift over the limit some times but it’s a risk you’ll pay sooner or later 
like my father 36years biker & a clean licence. but times are changing with more technology & different ways of being snapped. it will always pay off to know the area you’ll be riding.
but the speed awareness option does sound like a good way to go & at least it shows that they are not always out to punish us, just teach us a lesson:blush:
safe riding people
i got a go to court card when i gotr caught (mind you i was doing 130mph) :laugh: walked away with a six month ban
Should have done a poll! Take the second, don’t even think about it twice.
Where’s option 3, three points and the speed awareness course?
Anyone would think they were out to make money…
