Speeding course

No, they’ll look at it as a young driver that shows no regard for a speed limit that is imposed on him and deal with it accordingly.
Is it not telling that the Police are visiting F.E. colleges and schools with 6th forms because new drivers are a significant risk to themselves and peer group?
Why would 52 in a 30 be a different scenario? It’s the limit for the driver and the vehicle there just as a restricted driver is limited to 45.

Of course 52 in a 30 is deemed more dangerous than 67 in a 60 ...even tho an R driver.
Police visiting colleges doing neighbourhoody stuff is not really applicable to this argument tho...
Will be interesting to see what the courts do here

Unfortunately you will not be eligible for the speed awareness course. As for the points, it depends on the Police what they push for, i would be shocked if they push for a ban.
That’s quite the tightener....

95mph on a 60mph single carriage way, when your limited to 45mph?
No problem with that person getting fined and loosing their license for several years...

I was nabbed at 37 round the back of Forestside and have my first ever speed awareness course tomorrow afternoon in Belfast.
Any top tips for surviving, do you get tea and biscuits, anyone else going?

There's always one. Usually the old fella that thinks he should waste the time by wise cracking, because his time is being wasted.
Honestly it's not that much of a surprise the amount of elder drivers that attend these courses, most elderly people I encounter travel at 40 on a nsl country road and continue at 40 through the sign posted 30s.
When the guy asks what speed everyone thinks a certain road should be, the old people always say 40/50 for the dual carriageway

This. It is literally shocking, my mind still boggles at it many years later
Be full of do gooders brain washed beyond belief. I was doin 37 on crumlin road. He so asked the class what was the dangers there. Hands goin up shouting hospital. My answer was its about 2 miles down the road. More hands to say schools. My answer was it was easter holidays schools were off. All went silent after that.I was nabbed at 37 round the back of Forestside and have my first ever speed awareness course tomorrow afternoon in Belfast.

Past one of those bastid camera vans on the A1 last week. Sitting with cruise control on at 70mph only to realise as I past the van I was in the 60 zone ffs. Hands up my fault, was on auto pilot heading to Dublin. 3 points I guess or the course?

You might get away with that. I've passed them at indicated 70 before and never heard a thing.
If you don't get away with it it'll be course for sure

Why? Because of the mongs that would be on the course?
egggggzactly mate. my chum was on the course a few weeks ago & said he was never so close to smacking a bloke who just as described above.
totally missed the concept of get the thing done & leave. queried the instructor at every turn & added about half an hour just by talking pish haha.!
Maybe they're double agents these guys! There was one on the course i was on a few years ago, in fact i'm pretty sure he turned up to the course drunk!
I liked the course so much the first time i'm going back to another next week

Went to the course this afternoon, would much rather have been at Dubshed. That being said, the instructors were actually pretty dead on and I got chatting to a couple of bikers and had decent craic. Scary how poor some people's highway code is though!
