Car Insurance Shock!

[SimonH]

My bike insurance said it didnt matter they expected everyone to get 3 points at some time.

Though I expect I will pay more next renewal time.

Did you not get offered a speed awareness course?

I'm guessing, but don't know, that as a lot of speeding offences do result in an offer, if you actually get an SP30 it is now considered worse than pre speed awareness days.

Correct - if it's a first offence or (I think 3 years) a while from the last you get offered an awareness course. There has never been a situation where an SP30 is accepted as a given.

No, or I would have taken it.

It was hard to even pay the fine or talk to anyone about it.

I once reported a speed camera van driver for speeding,I was doing 30 in a 30 and he was catching me up at a rapid speed.

Nothing was done of course.
