Good Morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
I have to go for a speed awareness course today what a joke I was doing 37 on a dual carriageway opposite Squires Gate airport
I am not pleased and believe me they will have wished I had not been invited!

Its not a dual carriageway in the conventional sense. Residential streets off to the left every 50M as you leave Blackpool.
The clue was the big 30MPH signs and the big yellow camera boxes.
Whoever designed the traffic management system obviously knew that cars were likely to travel in such a busy environment too quickly. Accidents are down by 54% since the scheme went in.

I look forward to reading the follow up when / if he kicks off and they boot him off the course as he doesn't in effect accept the guilt, that way he loses the course fee and they still take him to court to face the speeding charge... In short you want to fight the charge you do it in a magistrates court.

Someone might want to tell him before he gets in hot water again.

A bit like a caution you are admitting guilt by accepting going on the course. also he needs to declare this to his insurers at next renewal and if he doesn't he might find he is driving without insurance further down the line.

Morning Milky, the way I saw it the first one grazed the crossbar, but had it been a couple of inches lower, I didn't think he would have got close to it.

You don't actually have to inform your insurers that you have attended a speed awareness course unless they specifically ask that question. A speed awareness course is not a conviction so you can truthfully answer no to the insurers question have you been convicted of a motoring offence. If they ask if you have attended a course they you do have to disclose this info.

Much as though in the circumstances being discussed I would love that to be accurate it's not.
The national speed limit is 60 MPH with other restrictions being indicated by signage and or the presence of appropriately spaced street lighting.

Morning Mike, were you doing 37 in a 30, or 37 in a 60. I though dual carriageway was an automatic 60. Always nice to get an invite though...

Looks like Ekuban has just disappeared... No sign of him all pre season...

I thought they were at least 40 hence 37mph
Incidentally I have looked up Harrison and found that City signed him for £4m from New York and loaned him to Boro that means we will now have 4 players who played last season for Boro seems they are our feeder club!

WRONG as i said all roads are 30 when you come out of the 30 there will b a sign telling you what the next limit is and evey so often there will be reminders on eg lamposts bth way the national speed limit is as you say 60 mph but on motorways it is 70 mph either ring your local driving test centre or the DSA/DVLA i am telling you this as a retired HGV/PSV certified RTITB driving instructor.
