I recently was rogered on the A303 for driving at 60mph in an NSL got zapped by the Gestapo Gateposts through by Wyle. Having safely driven 2500 miles Dorset-Spain-Dorset I got zapped 10 miles from home - with a trailer on the Landcruiser in case your wondering, hence the NSL means 50mph for such a vehicle wink despite it being perfectly legal & safe to drive at 60mph 400 yards behind me.


Anyway the lovely people at the Gestapo have offered me a speed awareness course instead of the browny points which I will be duly accepting. Just wondering what I should wear?

I've a choice of Speedhunters T-shirts, or drifting related team wear, wondered what might might be the most suitable biggrin

Suggestions please

Get a t-shirt specially made. I'd go with 'Speed doesn't kill: it's stopping fvcking quickly that kills'

Race overalls should do the trick. Bonus points for a perfectly executed slide into the car park!

On a serious note- check the terms, if you annoy them they may have the right to retract the course and charge you.

out of interest do you mind me asking how much they're charging you for your day of fun?

I went on a "driver improvement course" courtesy of cumbria police, cost 170 quid for a day and a half.

What REALLY pissed me off was after driving from Manchester to Kendal for 9am, they announced on my arrival that "ooh you could have just taken one in manchester."

Thanks for telling me before hand, that's great. frown

edited cos i realised i haven't answered your question at all, I turned up in jeans and a hoody looking like st having risen at about 6am that morning to arrive. No one seemed to mind, my partners in crime there were all wearing jeans and what not.

Just bear in mind you can (or at least could with mine) fail the day for not giving a st/acting like you dont care/ not taking part. Don't give them an excuse!

They had no issue with me doing mine in one piece leathers biggrin

To be fair, I took that as my one shot across their bows, and was a good boy for the rest of the course.

A pistonheads t-shirt would be apt...

Stig racing overalls would be epic!

I actually went into mine with a very open mind, (i was there in the first place due to quite frankly behaving like an utter utter tt, so felt like i should pay attention etc...) alot of the day was quite boring and the usual scare mongering, but the practical part certainly made me realise that my observation and forward planning was not as good as it should be.
