Government Re-education Camp

Well, that’s me booked in for corrective treatment of my anti-social behaviour (viz. driving at 38mph in the 30mph section of the Portway by the Park and Ride). This is out of curiosity, really, as I’ve not been offered the option before - this was, IIRC, the sixth time I’ve been prosecuted for speeding in 32 years of driving - but will, barring further misadventure, mean my licence will be point-free in a couple of months time.

The “course” is in Shirehampton so, weather permitting, I’ll turn up on my bike. Which will enable me to get home unaided if they decide I’m a Bad Sort and tear up my licence anyhow...

Automatic £60+3 points here, these days; you get the option of three hours indoctrination instead of the points, but no more than once in any three year period. By some strange coincidence, the "speed awareness course" costs 60 quid too.
