AA DriveTech Speed Awareness Course

Just before Christmas I was on my way home from Uxbridge on a duel carriageway when I was caught speeding by a mobile speed camera. After getting the ticket and going through the process of admitting the offence of speeding I was offered a place on a speed awareness course, I'd been on one a few years ago and luckily I was allegeable to go again.

The Course costs £95 thats £5 less than the speeding fine and you have to give them four hours of your time as well. If you're reading this because your going on one then take some photo ID with you or two forms of proof of address. I forgot mine last night and had to come home to get it making me 5 mins late.

Firstly it has to be said this is a really well laid out course and with the help of the two facilitators Roger and Bob the time went quickly and as expected there was a lot of information about the difference that speed makes and how it has a drastic effect on stopping when something happens. Theres some interactive segments which you have to use a remote to vote with and you can interact with the facilitators as well and with that in mind it only take a couple of characters in the room to make it a little entertaining as well. There were 21 in my Class and it was a good learning experience and hopefully it saves a life !
