M40 NIP for 79mph - speed awareness course?
Discussion
Just received a NIP for 79mph southbound on the M40 on the 29th March - will I be offered a speed awareness course?
No points currently, bit annoyed I wasn't travelling a mile an hour or two less...
Oh, and I had Waze on and it didn't tell me until I'd already seen the van, by which time it was too late.

Just out of interest, whereabouts on the M40? No points currently, bit annoyed I wasn't travelling a mile an hour or two less...

He must have been the only car slow enough to catch?
Indeed - a bit of a shock on the UK’s autobahn.It was North of Warwick services - the NIP says B4463 M40 over bridge, Hampton Road, Sherbourne.
There were no road works, or speed restrictions, just the usual 70mph motorway.

Yep. I got a SAC for 79 on the M62. 1 mph less and I’d have got nothing.
And another SAC in 2012 for 36 in a 30. 1 mph less and I’d have got nothing.
Ridiculous outcomes, but as we know, the law is the law is the law is the law is the law is the law...And another SAC in 2012 for 36 in a 30. 1 mph less and I’d have got nothing.

Personally, I would say GPS 77 is a bit close, I use GPS 75 as a maximum.
Don't forget 84 won't avoid points if you have already had an SAC.
I've been through hundreds of cameras set to 77 on WazeDon't forget 84 won't avoid points if you have already had an SAC.
I haven't for almost 20 years - although that was a 2 day course - which clearly worked
