As reported earlier, got NIPped for doing 57 in a 50 zone.

Post by: Snoopy on January 20, 2011, 11:45:40 AM: For a saving of £30 is it worth doing the course?
Only if they also don't put the points on your licence in my view.
£30 is less than an hour's pay for you ..... not worth giving up a day's work for. noooo:
