Got two speeding tickets in a week

Nc for this

I know, I am an idiot. It was totally accidental in both cases though (distraction got me to 38 in two different 30 zones).

I am normally very careful and hate the speeding idiots, sigh! Last time it happened to me was in 2015 and had a speed awareness course.

What am I looking at now? 1 course + fine and 3 points, or 6 points, or...?

Don't tell me I'm an idiot, I know already and fully committed to never make it happen again!

Hi, I hope it didn’t go too bad, may I ask what’s the update ?

I just did a speed awareness course and was told you cannot do another one for 3 years, so you may be able to do a speed awareness for one and just take the points for the other?

I would think they with you being so far over the speed limit at least one will go to Court?

Interested in this thread?

Hi . What was the outcome. I have been involved in a similar mess. My anxiety issues are similar to yours. Getting sleepless nights tbh

my speed in second time was 60mph in 40mph speed limit and in first it was 86mph in 70mph which I fit in category of course but for the second one I don’t know and it happened in a week.

Bloody hell 😐And you've only recently passed your test? 60 in a 40 is definitely points.

I had to go on a speed awareness course once when I got caught doing 32 in a 30 limit.

I have a newer car now that has a speed limiter and it makes life so much easier. I keep it on all the time.

Anyone. !!!

I did one course in 2012 and another in 2016.

Squirrelsnut · 15/02/2025 14:57

This happened to me. I did a course and took 3 points.

YYasen · 15/02/2025 16:10

Did it happen close to each other as well ?

What are you anxious about? You’ll do a speed awareness course + get 3 points and then move on with your life
