Speeding awarness course location

[Stang5oh]

I received a speeding ticket from the A35 Chideock west bound Camera in Dorset. 36mph in a 30mph. Failed to observe the speed limit dropping and had CC set to 40mph. :doh: My first ticket since passing my test in 2006 and I assumed I would end up with at least 1 ticket after I bought my mustang!

My question is, I live in Cornwall, I believe I will be applicable for the speed awareness course at that speed and with no prior.

Will I be able to do the course in Cornwall or will I have to pass the same speed camera to get to the course in Dorset?

No he wont, being that the OP was tagged in Dorset, they are not participants in the national scheme which means you will HAVE to do it in Dorset.

Thank you Remy, I might just coincide it with a trip to the tank museum or the FAA museum, make a long weekend of it

Worst 'I own a Mustang' post ever…






Interesting about Dorset SAC! Was about to comment that I got a course and could choose anywhere in the country until I read those posts.

What's the old joke?

How do you know you're in the room with a Mustang owner?

Oh, don't worry, he'll tell you!

The advantage of Dorset being outside the national database is that if you get done again outside Dorset, that area will probably offer you another course as they simply check the database and the Dorset one won’t show. They used to ask you to declare whether you’d done a course in the last 3 years but they’ve dropped that idea and only offer it if they think you’re eligible.

At least that’s what seemed to happened to, erm, a friend

Funny you say that... I was thinking exactly the same thing and glad you confirmed it.

I got the letter through last night, the next issue is, I'm abroad with work until August 19th. I will have to try and haggle with them to see if I can do it when I get back on Leave. Wish me luck!
