SpeedUlator: Speed Awareness Course Checker

Is there anyway to find out when I last took a speed awareness course ? It was about 3 yrs ago but I can't remember if it's just under or just over Thankyou

Hi I just done driving awareness course 2-3 months ago for redlight. I just been caught by police van speed camera doing just one mileyes one mile over the threshold 79 on dual carriageway (70 )cought doing 80. Do I qualify for speed awareness course as traffic light is different to speed one or are they considered the same. If so how many points will I get? 3 or 6? Thank you

You should be able to get a log of your phone calls, which should prove the date you made the payment. If it goes to court, this should be sufficient evidence.

I paid a fixed penalty over the phone & sent my driving licence in well within time allowed. Now they have sent me back my licence & repaid the fixed penalty claiming I did not pay on time & they intended to summons me. They refused to confirm to me in writing that I was in time but instead sent me a letter saying it had to to to court. I emailed a request for information & stated I had the recordings of my conversation & got a very rapid reply asking me if I was able to send my licence & payment again. I repeated my request & asked for them to send me a confirmation that I had paid the fixed penalty in plenty of time & the paperwork issued by the was incorrect. What should I do? If they have to reissue the notice I believe they will be out of time?

Were you caught speeding? If so, then the only course that will apply is the speed awareness course (which as you rightly point out, won't be offered if you've already done one in the past three years).

Can I do a National motorway awareness course if I have already done a speed awareness course in the last 3 years

It's on the high side to be offered a speed awareness course, but you may be offered a fixed penalty of £100 fine plus 3 penalty points.

I was doing 77 on a 60 average m25. What will be my outcome?

---

Unfortunately not. Some areas of the UK do not offer the speed awareness course and in areas where the course is offered, it's at the discretion of the police.

I have recently been caught speeding (39 in a 30) I have been caugh a few times in the last 25 years (3) ,all 34/35 in a 30.....and never been offered a speed awareness course, Do I have any legal right to queery it if I am not offered it this time.?Thanks

No, SJPN is usually sent if an initial communication has been ignored. It's likely you will incur further costs etc if you take it back to court.

There is no reason why you could not be offered a speed awareness course place even though you already have 3 points to your licence. The courses are always offered at the discretion of the police, so we can't say for sure whether they will offer one in this instance.

After reading through these pages I can see that if you recieve a speeding notice after 14 days you can ask for it to be withdrawn? I was stopped by police for speeding on 31/10/2016. I recieved a single justice procedure notice on 22/04/2017 (6 months after the offence) I sent back within the 21 days pleading guilty. I had an £800 fine and 6 points, I am having to pay the fine in instalments Is there anything I can do now as it was 6 months after the offence that I got the notice? Or is it too late because I pleaded guilty?

I have 3 points on my licence i recieved a ticket of speeding but the speed is on speed awareness course zone can I still do it despite 3 points?

Contact the course provider or the venue where you attended the course. Failing that the police authority for the area in which you were caught speeding should have a record of the offence date.

Does anyone know how i can check when i last went on a speed awareness course? It was roughly 3 years afo but im not to sure when exactly. Would be much appreciated if anyone can help me thanks

I was caught on the same day twice northbound and southbound. One being my first offence and then obviously my second offence. First offence in the morning I was doing 84 in a 70 and they have offered me a speed awareness course, second in the evening same spot but southbound I was doing 88 in a 70 and I have been told 3 points and a fine which I'm fine with. What I need to know is because I've been caught twice can I still take the speed awareness course the first offence and then accept the three points for the second or does getting caught in the evening rule out my eligibility for the speed awareness course?

I got caught speeding on the 4 may filled in all the relevant paperwork I am on a speed awareness course in Aug I have been caught again in June will my speed awareness course still count

---

Can you remember the name of the course provider? If so, contact them, they usually keep records.

Is there a way to find out when you took a speed awareness course? I did one a few years ago but have lost all the paper work and need to find out when I took the course for insurance quotes

I was driving up hill in a 30 zone doing 35 I think the speed camera van was on the opposite side of the road facing down hill will I be issued with a nip,and will I be able to go on speed awareness course if I have been caught

It's entirely up to the police to decide whether or not to offer an awareness course, so we really can't say unfortunately.

Ive been done for speeding done 36 on a 30 but in november last year i dome 47 in a 3 and got 3 points and a fine can i can i get on the speed awereness course this time around or will i get a fine and 3 points

First offence, 63 on a 50 zone. The cut off speed for the awareness course is if you're doing 64 or over but I just done 63 (this was on March) so new laws will not apply. Will I get awareness course option? Would be great to get a reply, thank you

You can request further photos if you're unsure who could have been driving.

I was recently caught doing 36 in a 30 zone by a mobile camera unit. I was unsure who the driver could be as myself , my wife and my father in law all took the car within a 30minute period along that same stretch of road which is just around the corner from my house. My wife to drop off the kids , father in law to buy a newspaper , after which I travelled to work . They have sent me photographic evidence but it clearly states on the letter "The photographic evidence is to identify the vehicle only and not the driver."you can just about make out the driver (me) but I don't want to break any rules by using a photo which they clearly say is to identify the vehicle ONLY !? What should I do

I was doing 35mph in a 30. I was unaware of this as it was road works. It went from 50mph I to 30 very quickly. I'm wondering if I will be offered the course. I did one last June. Please help

I think I was flashed but I'm not to sure as I didn't see a flash, I was doing 30 something In a 30 zone, I haven't had my licence 2 years but I already have 6 points from my provisional, will I lose my licence or will the police offer me a course, if I lose my licence I lose my job if I lose my job I lose my house !

I have 9 points but never done a course , I am within boundaries to be eligible otherwise ie 57mph in a 50 Would I be able to do a course

Unfortunately not. All speed awareness courses are offered at the discretion of the police, so there's no automatic right to one.
