Well it's nice that you are now aware of it Bob. I think I first became properly aware of it in about 1980 and I've thoroughly enjoyed it ever since.

What condescending crap do they feed to you on these course nowadays?

It was in the car on a dual carriageway doing 61 mph , 50 limit , and yes probably better than points but after 2hours I was thinking can. Cope with another 2 hours of this crap ,

Had the pleasure of one of those Bob and I was the slowest on the course at 27 mph but in what had recently become a 20mph main road and the day after the zero tolerance became active. Doesn't help when the row of open top tour buses obscure the new 20 signs so you drive past the very visible policeman with his radar on a tripod thinking I am OK below the 30 limit :cry:
But as others have said better than points, even though the same price as the fine and 4 hours out of your day :roll:
