F***ing speed awareness course thingy! Poxy £100 for the privilege of going!!! F***ing b*****d ex boss had complained to police about speed of cars outside school, so have been done for doing about 25 in a 20 - and all because I'd pulled out just as a white van steamed round the corner and had to put my foot down a little. 34 year unblemished driving record! Absolute bloody bollocks!!! Mad as hell! :angry:

Can't do the time, don't do the crime

What was I supposed to do, let the van hit me?!

My children attend Benfleet Primary. Could you avoid the area around 8:45 and 15:15 please.

I watched a woman sit in the aisle seat of an unoccupied two seat row. Later when the train had filled up someone asked for the window seat and she tutted loudly and shot them an evil before reluctantly moving out of the way to let the passenger take the seat.

There are some selfish *******s about.

That is bad. There seems to be no grey area. If you have a 34 year old unblemished record, then the last thing you need is to finish that record with a petty offense. If you had no good reason to speed up, then fair enough. But if a van suddenly steams around a corner behind you, I think most people would speed up for a few seconds to stop him hitting them, and then slow down. Sometimes it needs a bit of common sense in these situations. If you have an amazing driving record and a very good reason to go over the speed for a few seconds, then I think you should be given the benefit.

I went on one of those courses around this time last year. It was surprisingly good.

You've still got an unblemished driving record, thanks to the speed awareness course.

Yeah I had to do one as well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The drag-race out of the car park once the course had finished was pretty funny as well!

Sounds like you shouldn't have pulled out in the first place!

Speeding drivers.

It's apparently not enough for them to be selfishly polluting the air and taking up so much space (compared to public transport, cyclists and people who walk) whilst they drive about in their killing machines, but they also feel above the law and get all indignant when the brave boys in blue/a traffic camera catches them blatantly flouting the law.

Yeah, I had to floor it to get home in time to have something to eat and get to a home match.

I got six points once a few years back, made f-all difference to my insurance quotes. I'd rather take the 3 points.

The Waitrose easy peel satsumas I bought this morning turning out to be inedible filth.

A masonic handshake and small donation to the police benevolent fund are all that is needed.

You find that with satsumas I've noticed......

I went on one in 2013 too, What worried me about it was the number of people there who had been driving for years who had no idea about a number of things raised.
Shockingly a large number didn't know about lamp posts being a speed limit indicator ...

You can add me to the list :smile:

Just been on FreeCycle and a woman is desperate for a heater as her landlord (allegedly) won't repair her heating and she's got two small kids. Sickening (if true of course) - I have this crappy old space heater she's welcome to.
