Speed awareness course dilemma

[nrated]

I've got to attend a speed awareness course next week . It's a morning course with an early start , the route to get there is a pleasant cross county drive , the location has good parking . The dilemma do I take the GT 3 RS or go in the boring daily drive ??? Oh and just to add insult to injury I was 'caught' in the daily driver. What would you do ???

Take the GT3 RS . No contest !

[g7jhp]

GT3 RS at least when someone comments "we know why you were caught" you can mention the dull autopilot eurobox!

[cat with a hat]

I would advise taking the RS

[Upnorthgt3]

Take the RS - I took my GT3 to my SA course

Amusingly as I was getting into the car a lady opposite (having had an afternoon being repeatedly told about spatial awareness and observing the conditions around her) reversed straight across the car park and got wedged on a dwarf wall (she wasn't speeding though)

That is funny

Just take it.

I went in the 911 to mine, even though I got the offending 36mph ticket in a hateful Hertz Vauxhall Mokka 1.4!

Course better than I expected.

Take whatever car you fancy, it won't make any difference.

Take the Porsche - I went in my 930 and set off the instructor's car alarm as I arrived with my exhaust - it was quite embarrassing but also funny as everyone came out to see what was happening

First world "dilemma". You will probably find it's more akin to a WI meeting if my experience is anything to go by. I was expecting to be amongst a group of hot hatch driving, base ball cap wearing yoof. But once assembled and the intros commenced with "hi, I am Doris and I got caught doing 34 in a 30 mph zone", "I am Bert and I got caught doing 35 in a 30 mph zone", yada, yada, yada...... And carried on in the same way it was evident that most shouldn't have even been there. However, given that I was informed that individuals travelling above a certain % of the speed limit wouldn't be given the opportunity of a speed awareness course then it was evident why the "criminals" on the course were all of an ilk, And I include myself in that description!

S
Disagree in every way. Lots of old farts exceeding the 30 limit is exactly what speed awareness courses are about. Trying to educate people that when you mix pedestrians and cars that 30 is an absolute max.
It's where the majority of road users (pedestrians) are killed.
Motorway limit by comparison is farsical.
I went on one about 10 years ago and was amazed how many Dorises had no clue how to recognise the speed limit. Stuns me how many people think they can stop on zig zags or urban clearways to go to a cash point.
My infringement was 79 mph at 9.30 pm on a Friday night on the M6 north of Carlisle. Only car on the road?

M6 north of Carlisle and M74 scamerati heaven.................

yes, and it is often deserted...........

I got nabbed in my van but attended the course in my Cayman.
