Hi all

Sadly, I found myself with a NIP on the doormat this morning. 49 in a 40 that was recently 50 limit, no excuse and a silly lapse of judgement.

I took a speed awareness course 2 years and 10 months ago, which clearly worked hehe

Last offence was in a different police force jurisdiction to this one (next county)

The paperwork says I am not eligible to take another SAC within 3 years. Is that 3 years to date of offence or 3 years to date of the next course? If I schedule it for 2 months time, am I then compliant with the rules?

Being different jurisdictions, do they even talk to each other? Do they keep a central database of who attended a course and when? What's to stop me booking this one with a different provider, will they even notice? biggrin

Cheers in advance for any advice before I pay up and take the points.

If you get offered one, try to book it. If they pop up and say "three years", apologise profusely and you could have sworn it was longer ago...
Is there a fine/ penalty for knowingly doing this?
