DT Ralge   10 #313 Posted April 20, 2018 Won't normally marked speeding camera vehicles do more to raise awareness of speeding though? After all, the aim isn't to fine people, it's to raise awareness and change behaviour.  Probably but the point of the video is that hazards/problems on our roads aren’t normally or neatly labelled.

evildrneil   14 #314 Posted June 5, 2019 I've been offered a speed awareness course rather than points and I'm trying to find out the local venues (apparently I can go on one anywhere in the UK so shouldn't be limited to just SYP area venues) but I can't find a list of venues anywhere 😕 Anyone know if such a list exists or of the venues on the south side of Sheffield?

bendix   10 #319 Posted June 7, 2019 I did one at Rotherham’s football ground a year or so back. Like you, I went angrily and left a different driver.  It gave me lots of moments of reflection, and I consciously keep within limits now as a result, thinking back to some of the things I heard that day.   Like most courses it’s not about teaching you things you didn’t know: it’s about forcing you to remember things you knew but didn’t care much about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Evildrneil, blast from the past, hope you're well dude.  I went to one near the end of the parkway, just on the other side of the M1 on way in to Rotherham. Think it was a Holiday Inn or something like that. This was just over a year ago IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I believe he was caught speeding down there, and didn't have he option to take the course locally. Not sure how long ago this was.
