This morning my wife thinks she was caught by a camera van in a 20 zone. Speed about 25 so probably a course will be offered.
We wondered whether the courses would go ahead due to Corvid and gatherings of people.
What will be the outcome?
Possibles might be
Delay the course attendance depending on timescale limitations.
Just give out FPN so points and fine.
Warning letter with no further action.
The course is not in a Magistrates Court where a person is alone with possible limitation on people present, but in a hired room with 20 or more attendees.
Would this be deemed as a reason to stop the courses?
Those running them would lose income.
The need to deal with speeding remains.
If the speed falls with in the course offer speed range that presents a dilemma as to measures to limit Corvid spread. What happens when we move to widespread shutdown status?
It will be interesting to see what happens.

Not worrying at all. Just wondering at how they will deal with it.

That'll be COVID-19, or Coronavirus, not Corvid which is the Crow family of birds...

Predict massive traffic increase as working from home and self isolating leads to boredom

OP,

Nobody here ‘knows’ because the U.K. hasn’t been through this virus crap since the speed awareness courses came in.

There’s nothing you can do about it, so just concentrate on the important things in life.

I imagine people would find it hard to concentrate with a bunch of crows flying about and stealing all the pens.

That Road Safety 'Specialist' Police and Crime Commissioner is on Twitter:

Tweet them and ask them how the Corona Virus control measures will impact on Speed Awareness Courses?

Common sense would suggest course offered but date deferred until further notice, after all it's hardly a major offence . However, the money still needs to flow so perhaps it'll be fines only for the forseeable.

Who me ?

Would expect that there won't be any courses so everyone will get 3 points instead. Well not everyone, just those people at or exceeding 10%+2
