More Speed Awareness Bollocks

36mph in a 30 caught by a "safety partnership van" and I've been
offered a Speed Awareness Course at a cost of £72 after I ignored the
NIP. Given that I've think the last points dropped off my licence a
while back and that the news today said that insurers are ignoring up
to 6 speeding points these days as everyone's got them, I think I'll
save 12 quid and an afternoon off work and tell them to stick their
Safety Nazi Bullshit.

Gah.

 

Go & let them know your views, free country & all that. I would & I
would tell the twats what I thought of em.

As 3 points is now meaningless, the "threat" of points if you don't do
the course is pointless.

 

It's got to be worth going along for the laugh. I'm going to have to
attend soon and I fully intend turning up on the bike wearing slightly
battered leathers along with fucked knee sliders.

I wonder if you get a free lunch if you attend?

 

Heh. That'd be good, but I suspect they'll have seen it all before.

Doubt it. 2 1/2 hours and you're done, it says here.

 

Fucking cheapskates. I'll take a flask and sandwiches along then.

 

That is fucking utterly shocking. Nazi state or what? Ride the bike
there & wheelie on the way out. Cunts.

Make sure you eat loads of fruit & beans about four hours before you
go, you'll stink the place out........

It does put a gloss on it, don't it? Be turning up Meldrewed up...

 

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

 

And crisps. And those toffees with the loud wrappers.

 

Voice of experience?

And an iPod, sit there nodding away in time to whatever they're
preaching.

I ride way too fast to worry about cholestorol.

Great idea. Save 12 quid and gain 2 or 3 points. Good deal in anyone's book.

Until you've collected about 10 of the fuckers. Those 3 points wil then
become very meaningful indeed, but I'm sure you know best.


the "threat" of points if you don't do

Ok.

Take some cold tea in a Scotch whisky bottle and swig from it liberally
all the way through the event.

 

So how does not receiving endorsements/sanction for breaking the law
make it a "Nazi state".

 

I don't think it's possible to collect 10 points, they usually come in
threes. Given that after 25 years of biking and driving or
thereabouts this is only the third or fourth set of points I've
collected, the risk of being on the edge of a ban seems fairly
remote.
